What about mmu_gather_unsync_shadow_pages()?  I agree that "walk" isn't a great
name, but IMO that's true regardless of when it updates the unsync bitmap.  And
similar to a previous complaint about "clear" being ambiguous, I don't think it's
realistic that we'll be able to come up with a name the precisely and unambiguously
describes what exactly is being cleared.

Instead, regardless of what name we settle on, add a function comment.  Probably
in the patch that changes the clear_unsync_child_bit behavior.  That's a better
place to document the implementation detail.

Please align indentation.
