KVM: x86: Zap the oldest MMU pages, not the newest
commit
8fc517267fb28576dfca2380cc2497a2454b8fae upstream.
Walk the list of MMU pages in reverse in kvm_mmu_zap_oldest_mmu_pages().
The list is FIFO, meaning new pages are inserted at the head and thus
the oldest pages are at the tail. Using a "forward" iterator causes KVM
to zap MMU pages that were just added, which obliterates guest
performance once the max number of shadow MMU pages is reached.
Fixes:
