Set kvm_mmu_page_role.invalid to mark the various MMU root_roles invalid during CPUID update in order to force a refresh, instead of zeroing out the entire role. This fixes a bug where kvm_mmu_free_roots() incorrectly thinks a root is indirect, i.e. not a TDP MMU, due to "direct" being zeroed, which in turn causes KVM to take mmu_lock for write instead of read. Note, paving over the entire role was largely unintentional, commit 7a458f0e1ba1 ("KVM: x86/mmu: remove extended bits from mmu_role, rename field") simply missed that "invalid" could be set.
