[PATCH v2 08/26] KVM: x86/mmu: Link spt to sp during allocation

Link the shadow page table to the sp (via set_page_private()) during
allocation rather than initialization. This is a more logical place to
do it because allocation time is also where we do the reverse link
(setting sp->spt).

This creates one extra call to set_page_private(), but having multiple
calls to set_page_private() is unavoidable anyway. We either do
set_page_private() during allocation, which requires 1 per allocation
function, or we do it during initialization, which requires 1 per
initialization function.

No functional change intended.
