[PATCH v2 01/26] KVM: x86/mmu: Optimize MMU page cache lookup for all direct SPs

[David Matlack]

Commit fb58a9c345f6 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Optimize MMU page cache lookup for
fully direct MMUs") skipped the unsync checks and write flood clearing
for full direct MMUs. We can extend this further and skip the checks for
all direct shadow pages. Direct shadow pages are never marked unsynced
or have a non-zero write-flooding count.

Checking sp->role.direct alos generates better code than checking
direct_map because, due to register pressure, direct_map has to get
shoved onto the stack and then pulled back off.

No functional change intended.
