KVM: MMU: Improve iteration through sptes from rmap

Iteration using rmap_next(), the actual body is pte_list_next(), is
inefficient: every time we call it we start from checking whether rmap
holds a single spte or points to a descriptor which links more sptes.

In the case of shadow paging, this quadratic total iteration cost is a
problem.  Even for two dimensional paging, with EPT/NPT on, in which we
almost always have a single mapping, the extra checks at the end of the
iteration should be eliminated.

This patch fixes this by introducing rmap_iterator which keeps the
iteration context for the next search.  Furthermore the implementation
of rmap_next() is splitted into two functions, rmap_get_first() and
rmap_get_next(), to avoid repeatedly checking whether the rmap being
iterated on has only one spte.

Although there seemed to be only a slight change for EPT/NPT, the actual
improvement was significant: we observed that GET_DIRTY_LOG for 1GB
dirty memory became 15% faster than before.  This is probably because
the new code is easy to make branch predictions.

Note: we just remove pte_list_next() because we can think of parent_ptes
as a reverse mapping.
