Paul Mackerras 5af3e9d06d KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Flush guest mappings when turning dirty tracking on/off

This adds code to flush the partition-scoped page tables for a radix
guest when dirty tracking is turned on or off for a memslot.  Only the
guest real addresses covered by the memslot are flushed.  The reason
for this is to get rid of any 2M PTEs in the partition-scoped page
tables that correspond to host transparent huge pages, so that page
dirtiness is tracked at a system page (4k or 64k) granularity rather
than a 2M granularity.  The page tables are also flushed when turning
dirty tracking off so that the memslot's address space can be
repopulated with THPs if possible.

To do this, we add a new function kvmppc_radix_flush_memslot().  Since
this does what's needed for kvmppc_core_flush_memslot_hv() on a radix
guest, we now make kvmppc_core_flush_memslot_hv() call the new
kvmppc_radix_flush_memslot() rather than calling kvm_unmap_radix()
for each page in the memslot.  This has the effect of fixing a bug in
that kvmppc_core_flush_memslot_hv() was previously calling
kvm_unmap_radix() without holding the kvm->mmu_lock spinlock, which
is required to be held.
