Separate the functions for generating leaf page table entries from the function that inserts them into the paging structure. This refactoring will facilitate changes to the MMU sychronization model to use atomic compare / exchanges (which are not guaranteed to succeed) instead of a monolithic MMU lock. No functional change expected. Tested by running kvm-unit-tests and KVM selftests on an Intel Haswell machine. This commit introduced no new failures.

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.
