KVM: x86/mmu: Remove FNAME(is_self_change_mapping)
Drop FNAME(is_self_change_mapping) and instead rely on
kvm_mmu_hugepage_adjust() to adjust the hugepage accordingly. Prior to
commit
4cd071d13c5c ("KVM: x86/mmu: Move calls to thp_adjust() down a
level"), the hugepage adjustment was done before allocating new shadow
pages, i.e. failed to restrict the hugepage sizes if a new shadow page
resulted in account_shadowed() changing the disallowed hugepage tracking.
Removing FNAME(is_self_change_mapping) fixes a bug reported by Huang Hang
where KVM unnecessarily forces a 4KiB page. FNAME(is_self_change_mapping)
has a defect in that it blindly disables _all_ hugepage mappings rather
than trying to reduce the size of the hugepage. If the guest is writing
to a 1GiB page and the 1GiB is self-referential but a 2MiB page is not,
then KVM can and should create a 2MiB mapping.
Add a comment above the call to kvm_mmu_hugepage_adjust() to call out the
new dependency on adjusting the hugepage size after walking indirect PTEs.
