In hardware TLB, invalidating TLB entries means the translations are
removed from the TLB.
In KVM shadowed vTLB, the translations (combinations of shadow paging
and hardware TLB) are generally maintained as long as they remain "clean"
when the TLB of an address space (i.e. a PCID or all) is flushed with
the help of write-protections, sp->unsync, and kvm_sync_page(), where
"clean" in this context means that no updates to KVM's SPTEs are needed.
However, FNAME(invlpg) always zaps/removes the vTLB if the shadow page is
unsync, and thus triggers a remote flush even if the original vTLB entry
is clean, i.e. is usable as-is.
Besides this, FNAME(invlpg) is largely is a duplicate implementation of
FNAME(sync_spte) to invalidate a vTLB entry.
To address both issues, reuse FNAME(sync_spte) to share the code and
slightly modify the semantics, i.e. keep the vTLB entry if it's "clean"
and avoid remote TLB flush.
