Use the fast invalidate mechasim to zap MMIO sptes on a MMIO generation
wrap. The fast invalidate flow was reintroduced to fix a livelock bug
in kvm_mmu_zap_all() that can occur if kvm_mmu_zap_all() is invoked when
the guest has live vCPUs. I.e. using kvm_mmu_zap_all() to handle the
MMIO generation wrap is theoretically susceptible to the livelock bug.
This effectively reverts commit 4771450c345dc ("Revert "KVM: MMU: drop
kvm_mmu_zap_mmio_sptes""), i.e. restores the behavior of commit
a8eca9dcc656a ("KVM: MMU: drop kvm_mmu_zap_mmio_sptes").
Note, this actually fixes commit 571c5af06e303 ("KVM: x86/mmu:
Voluntarily reschedule as needed when zapping MMIO sptes"), but there
is no need to incrementally revert back to using fast invalidate, e.g.
doing so doesn't provide any bisection or stability benefits.

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.
