I'd prefer the functions to be consistent about who takes the lock, either mmu.c or tdp_mmu.c. Since everywhere else you're doing it in mmu.c, that would be:

void kvm_arch_flush_remote_tlbs_memslot(struct kvm *kvm,

and just lockdep_assert_held_read here.

- tdp_mmu_set_spte(kvm, &iter, 0);
-
- spte_set = true;

Is it correct to remove this assignment?
