Don't we call kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page() once for multiple
kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() now when possible? kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page()
gets a list as a parameter. I am not against the change, but wish to
understand it better.

What about moving this inside if() bellow and making it hlist_del()?
Leave the page on the hash if root_count is non zero.
