[PATCH 2/4] KVM: MMU: simplify the logic of __mmu_unsync_walk()

[Xiao Guangrong <guangrong.xiao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Each time i looked into the logic of walking unsync shadow pages, it costs
lots of time to understand what it is doing. The trick of this logic is
that the item, sp and idx, saved to kvm_mmu_pages is the sp and the index
in the _parent_ level and it lacks any comment to explain this fact

This patch simplifies it by saving the sp and its index to kvm_mmu_pages,
then it is much easier to understand the operations on the its index
