This bug only hurts kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() function, we'd better allow 'self_deleted' is
NULL, then we can pass NULL at other place.

Maybe we can keep kvm_mmu_zap_page() returns the number of zapped children,
and 'self_deleted' indicates whether self is zapped, then we no need modify
those function, just fix kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() that is if 'self_deleted == 1',
inc 'used_pages'
