Stop zapping invalidate TDP MMU roots via work queue now that KVM preserves TDP MMU roots until they are explicitly invalidated. Zapping roots asynchronously was effectively a workaround to avoid stalling a vCPU for an extended during if a vCPU unloaded a root, which at the time happened whenever the guest toggled CR0.WP (a frequent operation for some guest kernels). While a clever hack, zapping roots via an unbound worker had subtle, unintended consequences on host scheduling, especially when zapping multiple roots, e.g. as part of a memslot. Because the work of zapping a root is no longer bound to the task that initiated the zap, things like the CPU affinity and priority of the original task get lost. Losing the affinity and priority can be especially problematic if unbound workqueues aren't affined to a small number of CPUs, as zapping multiple roots can cause KVM to heavily utilize the majority of CPUs in the system, *beyond* the CPUs KVM is already using to run vCPUs. When deleting a memslot via KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION, the async root zap can result in KVM occupying all logical CPUs for ~8ms, and result in high priority tasks not being scheduled in in a timely manner. In v5.15, which doesn't preserve unloaded roots, the issues were even more noticeable as KVM would zap roots more frequently and could occupy all CPUs for 50ms+. Consuming all CPUs for an extended duration can lead to significant jitter throughout the system, e.g. on ChromeOS with virtio-gpu, deleting memslots is a semi-frequent operation as memslots are deleted and recreated with different host virtual addresses to react to host GPU drivers allocating and freeing GPU blobs. On ChromeOS, the jitter manifests as audio blips during games due to the audio server's tasks not getting scheduled in promptly, despite the tasks having a high realtime priority. Deleting memslots isn't exactly a fast path and should be avoided when possible, and ChromeOS is working towards utilizing MAP_FIXED to avoid the memslot shenanigans, but KVM is squarely in the wrong. Not to mention that removing the async zapping eliminates a non-trivial amount of complexity. Note, one of the subtle behaviors hidden behind the async zapping is that KVM would zap invalidated roots only once (ignoring partial zaps from things like mmu_notifier events). Preserve this behavior by adding a flag to identify roots that are scheduled to be zapped versus roots that have already been zapped but not yet freed. Add a comment calling out why kvm_tdp_mmu_invalidate_all_roots() can encounter invalid roots, as it's not at all obvious why zapping invalidated roots shouldn't simply zap all invalid roots.
