The stats code is trivial to convert, so it doesn't matter.

Removal is easier.

But what about mmu_shrink and its list_move_tail? How is this
synchronized against kvm_destroy_vm - already today?

kvm_destroy_vm() takes kvm_lock. If a vm is destroyed before mmu_shrink(), mmu_shrink() will never see it. If we reach mmu_shrink() before kvm_destroy_vm(), the latter will wait until mmu_shrink() is done.
