KVM: MMU: fast invalidate all mmio sptes

This patch tries to introduce a very simple and scale way to invalidate
all mmio sptes - it need not walk any shadow pages and hold mmu-lock

KVM maintains a global mmio valid generation-number which is stored in
kvm->memslots.generation and every mmio spte stores the current global
generation-number into his available bits when it is created

When KVM need zap all mmio sptes, it just simply increase the global
generation-number. When guests do mmio access, KVM intercepts a MMIO #PF
then it walks the shadow page table and get the mmio spte. If the
generation-number on the spte does not equal the global generation-number,
it will go to the normal #PF handler to update the mmio spte

Since 19 bits are used to store generation-number on mmio spte, we zap all
mmio sptes when the number is round
