Topup memory caches after walking the GVA->GPA translation during a shadow page fault, there is no need to ensure the caches are full when walking the GVA. As of commit f5a1e9f89504f ("KVM: MMU: remove call to kvm_mmu_pte_write from walk_addr"), the FNAME(walk_addr) flow no longer add rmaps via kvm_mmu_pte_write(). This avoids allocating memory in the case that the GVA is unmapped in the guest, and also provides a paper trail of why/when the memory caches need to be filled.
