Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Ensure TLBs are flushed when yielding during
GFN range zap

When flushing a range of GFNs across multiple roots, ensure any pending flush from a previous root is honored before yielding while walking the tables of the current root.

Note, kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_gfn_range() now intentionally overwrites its local "flush" with the result to avoid redundant flushes. zap_gfn_range() preserves and return the incoming "flush", unless of course the flush was performed prior to yielding and no new flush was triggered.

Fixes 1af4a96025b3 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Yield in TDU MMU iter even if no SPTES changed")
