The Linux Test Robot found a few RCU warnings in the TDP MMU:

Fix these warnings and cleanup a hack in tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched.

Tested by compiling as suggested in the test robot report and confirmed that
the warnings go away with this series applied. Also ran kvm-unit-tests on an
Intel Skylake machine with the TDP MMU enabled and confirmed that the series
introduced no new failures.

Mostly good but Sean's suggestion in patch 2 is indeed better. There's enough changes that I'll wait for a v2 from you. Thanks!
