David Matlack 0485cf8dbe KVM: x86/mmu: Remove redundant root_hpa checks
The root_hpa checks below the top-level check in kvm_mmu_page_fault are
theoretically redundant since there is no longer a way for the root_hpa
to be reset during a page fault. The details of why are described in
commit ddce620821 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Move root_hpa validity checks to top
of page fault handler")

__direct_map, kvm_tdp_mmu_map, and get_mmio_spte are all only reachable
through kvm_mmu_page_fault, therefore their root_hpa checks are
redundant.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
