Sean Christopherson fbb158cb88 KVM: x86/mmu: Revert "Revert "KVM: MMU: zap pages in batch""
Now that the fast invalidate mechanism has been reintroduced, restore
the performance tweaks for fast invalidation that existed prior to its
removal.

Paraphrashing the original changelog:

  Zap at least 10 shadow pages before releasing mmu_lock to reduce the
  overhead associated with re-acquiring the lock.

  Note: "10" is an arbitrary number, speculated to be high enough so
  that a vCPU isn't stuck zapping obsolete pages for an extended period,
  but small enough so that other vCPUs aren't starved waiting for
  mmu_lock.

This reverts commit 43d2b14b10.

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.
