[PATCH v5 18/21] KVM: x86/mmu: Zap collapsible SPTEs in shadow MMU at all possible levels

Currently KVM only zaps collapsible 4KiB SPTEs in the shadow MMU. This
is fine for now since KVM never creates intermediate huge pages during
dirty logging. In other words, KVM always replaces 1GiB pages directly
with 4KiB pages, so there is no reason to look for collapsible 2MiB
pages.

However, this will stop being true once the shadow MMU participates in
eager page splitting. During eager page splitting, each 1GiB is first
split into 2MiB pages and then those are split into 4KiB pages. The
intermediate 2MiB pages may be left behind if an error condition causes
eager page splitting to bail early.

No functional change intended.
