Given certain conditions, some TDP MMU functions may not yield
reliably / frequently enough. For example, if a paging structure was
very large but had few, if any writable entries, wrprot_gfn_range
could traverse many entries before finding a writable entry and yielding
because the check for yielding only happens after an SPTE is modified.
Fix this issue by moving the yield to the beginning of the loop.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
