Purely because it exists first, I think we should follow the legacy MMU's
terminology, i.e. kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_obsolete_pages().


It's a bit different, obsolete pages in kvm_zap_obsolete_pages have an old mmu_valid_gen. They are not invalid, so it is inaccurate to talk about obsolete pages in the context of the TDP MMU. But I agree that the function should be renamed.
