Umm, this feature is used like this:

hold mmu_lock
increase sp->active_count
release mmu_lock
......
hold mmu_lock
increase sp->active_count
if (!sp->active_count&&  sp->invalid)
	kvm_mmu_free_page(sp);
......
release mmu_lock



Well, the implementation is confusing. Maybe we should have mmu_ref_sp() and mmu_drop_sp() wrappers to manage the reference counts and call mmu_free_page() automatically.
