Currently, when we fetch an spte, we only verify that gptes match those that
the walker saw if we build new shadow pages for them.

However, this misses the following race:

   vcpu1            vcpu2

   walk
                   change gpte
                   walk
                   instantiate sp

   fetch existing sp

Fix by validating every gpte, regardless of whether it is used for building
a new sp or not.

If its not a new page, and validation fails, can't "sp" point to
a shadow page previously instantiated in the loop?

It can, and then sp and sptep are inconsistent.  Good catch.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
