commit c5e2184d1544f9e56140791eff1a351bea2e63b9 upstream
Remove the update_pte() shadow paging logic, which was obsoleted by
commit 4731d4c7a077 ("KVM: MMU: out of sync shadow core"), but never
removed. As pointed out by Yu, KVM never write protects leaf page
tables for the purposes of shadow paging, and instead marks their
associated shadow page as unsync so that the guest can write PTEs at
will.
The update_pte() path, which predates the unsync logic, optimizes COW
scenarios by refreshing leaf SPTEs when they are written, as opposed to
zapping the SPTE, restarting the guest, and installing the new SPTE on
the subsequent fault. Since KVM no longer write-protects leaf page
tables, update_pte() is unreachable and can be dropped.

We hit a warning in WARNING: CPU: 62 PID: 29302 at arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c:2250 nonpaging_update_pte+0x5/0x10 [kvm]
on AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6386 SE with kernel 5.4.113, it seems nested L2 is running, I notice a similar bug
report on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1884058.
I did test with kvm-unit-tests on both Intel Broadwell/Skylake, AMD Opteron, no
regression, basic VM tests work fine too on 5.4 kernel.
the commit c5e2184d1544f9e56140791eff1a351bea2e63b9 can be cherry-picked cleanly
to kernel 5.10+.
