The existing bookkeeping done by KVM when a PTE is changed is spread
around several functions. This makes it difficult to remember all the
stats, bitmaps, and other subsystems that need to be updated whenever a
PTE is modified. When a non-leaf PTE is marked non-present or becomes a
leaf PTE, page table memory must also be freed. To simplify the MMU and
facilitate the use of atomic operations on SPTEs in future patches, create
functions to handle some of the bookkeeping required as a result of
a change.
Tested by running kvm-unit-tests and KVM selftests on an Intel Haswell
machine. This series introduced no new failures.

The TDP MMU must be able to allocate paging structure root pages and track
the usage of those pages. Implement a similar, but separate system for root
page allocation to that of the x86 shadow paging implementation. When
future patches add synchronization model changes to allow for parallel
page faults, these pages will need to be handled differently from the
x86 shadow paging based MMU's root pages.

The SPTE format will be common to both the shadow and the TDP MMU.
Extract code that implements the format to a separate module, as a
first step towards adding the TDP MMU and putting mmu.c on a diet.

Introduce sptep_to_sp() to reduce the boilerplate code needed to get the
shadow page associated with a spte pointer, and to improve readability
as it's not immediately obvious that "page_header" is a KVM-specific
accessor for retrieving a shadow page.

Add mmu/mmu_internal.h to hold declarations and definitions that need
to be shared between various mmu/ files, but should not be used by
anything outside of the MMU.
Begin populating mmu_internal.h with declarations of the helpers used by
page_track.c.
