Recursively zap all to-be-orphaned children, unsynced or otherwise, when zapping a shadow page for a nested TDP MMU. KVM currently only zaps the unsynced child pages, but not the synced ones. This can create problems over time when running many nested guests because it leaves unlinked pages which will not be freed until the page quota is hit. With the default page quota of 20 shadow pages per 1000 guest pages, this looks like a memory leak and can degrade MMU performance. In a recent benchmark, substantial performance degradation was observed: An L1 guest was booted with 64G memory. 2G nested Windows guests were booted, 10 at a time for 20 iterations. (200 total boots) Windows was used in this benchmark because they touch all of their memory on startup. By the end of the benchmark, the nested guests were taking ~10% longer to boot. With this patch there is no degradation in boot time. Without this patch the benchmark ends with hundreds of thousands of stale EPT02 pages cluttering up rmaps and the page hash map. As a result, VM shutdown is also much slower: deleting memslot 0 was observed to take over a minute. With this patch it takes just a few miliseconds.

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.
