Trivial nit:

I read Ben's comment in previous version and that sounds reasonable to keep
the two linkages together.  It's just a bit of a pity we need to set the
private manually for each allocation.

Meanwhile we have another counter example in the tdp mmu code
(tdp_mmu_init_sp()), so we may want to align the tdp/shadow cases at some
point..
