KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Flush guest mappings when turning dirty tracking on/off
This adds code to flush the partition-scoped page tables for a radix guest when dirty tracking is turned on or off for a memslot. Only the guest real addresses covered by the memslot are flushed. The reason for this is to get rid of any 2M PTEs in the partition-scoped page tables that correspond to host transparent huge pages, so that page dirtiness is tracked at a system page (4k or 64k) granularity rather than a 2M granularity. The page tables are also flushed when turning dirty tracking off so that the memslot's address space can be repopulated with THPs if possible. To do this, we add a new function kvmppc_radix_flush_memslot(). Since this does what's needed for kvmppc_core_flush_memslot_hv() on a radix guest, we now make kvmppc_core_flush_memslot_hv() call the new kvmppc_radix_flush_memslot() rather than calling kvm_unmap_radix() for each page in the memslot. This has the effect of fixing a bug in that kvmppc_core_flush_memslot_hv() was previously calling kvm_unmap_radix() without holding the kvm->mmu_lock spinlock, which is required to be held.
