Here can be optimized by judging whether active_mmu_pages is empty,
just like kvm_zap_obsolete_pages.
Regardless of L0 kvm or L1 kvm, when tdp_mmu is enabled, the
active_mmu_pages list will not be used.
When ept=0 , the probability that active_mmu_pages is empty is also
high, not every time
kvm_zap_obsolete_pages is called.
