the root-1 SPTEs after they've been zapped by "zap all" flows.

I'm still somewhat on the fence for patch 2, feel free to drop it.

v2:
- Replaced magic number silliness with Paolo's much more clever suggestion.
- Elaborated on the benefits of the optimization.
- Add Ben's somewhat reluctant review for the optimization.

v1: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210812050717.3176478-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx

KVM: x86/mmu: Don't leak non-leaf SPTEs when zapping all SPTEs
KVM: x86/mmu: Don't step down in the TDP iterator when zapping all
SPTEs
