Use the fast invalidate mechasim to zap MMIO sptes on a MMIO generation wrap. The fast invalidate flow was reintroduced to fix a livelock bug in kvm_mmu_zap_all() that can occur if kvm_mmu_zap_all() is invoked when the guest has live vCPUs. I.e. using kvm_mmu_zap_all() to handle the MMIO generation wrap is theoretically susceptible to the livelock bug. This effectively reverts commit4771450c34("Revert "KVM: MMU: drop kvm_mmu_zap_mmio_sptes""), i.e. restores the behavior of commita8eca9dcc6("KVM: MMU: drop kvm_mmu_zap_mmio_sptes"). Note, this actually fixes commit571c5af06e("KVM: x86/mmu: Voluntarily reschedule as needed when zapping MMIO sptes"), but there is no need to incrementally revert back to using fast invalidate, e.g. doing so doesn't provide any bisection or stability benefits.

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.
