Add a helper to convert a SPTE to its shadow page to deduplicate a variety of flows and hopefully avoid future bugs, e.g. if KVM attempts to get the shadow page for a SPTE without dropping high bits. Opportunistically add a comment in mmu_free_root_page() documenting why it treats the root HPA as a SPTE. No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
