Yes and no.  Yes, I intended what I wrote.  No, this isn't intended to be limited
to a memslot address space mismatch, but at the time I wrote this I was apparently
lazy or inept :-)

In hindsight, this would be better:

/* blah blah blah */
static inline struct list_head *kvm_get_tdp_mmu_roots_exclusive(struct kvm *kvm)
{
	lockdep_assert_held_write(&kvm->mmu_lock);

	return &kvm->arch.tdp_mmu_roots;
}

#define for_each_tdp_mmu_root(_kvm, _root, _as_id)			       \
	list_for_each_entry(_root, kvm_get_tdp_mmu_roots_exclusive(kvm), link) \
		if (kvm_mmu_page_as_id(_root) != _as_id) {		       \
		} else
