Paolo Bonzini f3b65bbaed KVM: delete .change_pte MMU notifier callback 
The .change_pte() MMU notifier callback was intended as an
optimization. The original point of it was that KSM could tell KVM to flip
its secondary PTE to a new location without having to first zap it. At
the time there was also an .invalidate_page() callback; both of them were
*not* bracketed by calls to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}(),
and .invalidate_page() also doubled as a fallback implementation of
.change_pte().

Later on, however, both callbacks were changed to occur within an
invalidate_range_start/end() block.

In the case of .change_pte(), commit 6bdb913f0a ("mm: wrap calls to
set_pte_at_notify with invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end",
2012-10-09) did so to remove the fallback from .invalidate_page() to
.change_pte() and allow sleepable .invalidate_page() hooks.

This however made KVM's usage of the .change_pte() callback completely
moot, because KVM unmaps the sPTEs during .invalidate_range_start()
and therefore .change_pte() has no hope of finding a sPTE to change.
Drop the generic KVM code that dispatches to kvm_set_spte_gfn(), as
well as all the architecture specific implementations.
