Subject[PATCH 1/2] Revert "KVM: x86/mmu: Don't step down in the TDP iterator when zapping all SPTEs"
From
Not stepping down in TDP iterator in `zap_all` case avoids re-reading the
non-leaf SPTEs, thus accelerates the zapping process . But when the number
of SPTEs is too large, we may run out of CPU time and causes a RCU stall
warnings in __handle_changed_pte() in the context of zap_gfn_range().

Revert this patch to allow eliminating RCU stall warning using a two-phase
zapping for `zap_all` case.

This reverts commit 0103098fb4f13b447b26ed514bcd3140f6791047.
