Kernel style is to have curly braces on all branches if any branch has 'em.  Or,
omit the else since the taken branch always returns.  I think I prefer the latter?

Same here.

As with the existing code, I'd let this poke out.  Alternatively, this could be
written as:

		flush_needed = !can_yield ||
			       !tdp_mmu_iter_flush_cond_resched(kvm, &iter);
