KVM: x86/mmu: skip over invalid root pages when zapping all sptes
...to guarantee forward progress. When zapped, root pages are marked invalid and moved to the head of the active pages list until they are explicitly freed. Theoretically, having unzappable root pages at the head of the list could prevent kvm_mmu_zap_all() from making forward progress were a future patch to add a loop restart after processing a page, e.g. to drop mmu_lock on contention. Although kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() can theoretically take action on invalid pages, e.g. to zap unsync children, functionally it's not necessary (root pages will be re-zapped when freed) and practically speaking the odds of e.g. @unsync or @unsync_children becoming %true while zapping all pages is basically nil.
