Here mmu_spte_clear_track_bits cannot return false, because
mmu_spte_clear_track_bits only returns false if
!is_shadow_present_pte(old_spte) and for_each_rmap_spte checks for that.

I think you should call this function pte_list_remove, and rename the
existing pte_list_remove to __pte_list_remove.

... so this should probably move

	mmu_spte_clear_track_bits(sptep)

from the "else" branch to before the "if", and call __pte_list_remove
directly.

Thanks,
