When PAE is in use, the root_hpa will not have a shadow page assoicated
with it. In this case the kernel will crash with a NULL pointer
dereference. Add checks to ensure is_tdp_mmu_root works as intended even
when using PAE.

Tested: compiles

Fixes: 02c00b3a2f7e ("kvm: x86/mmu: Allocate and free TDP MMU roots")

This seems to work in my amd64 case as well.

If this was just PAE, it would be easier to test "if (shadow_root_level 
 >= PT64_ROOT_4LEVEL)"---and more correct too, because using the 
page_private of __pa(vcpu->arch.mmu->pae_root) is a bit untidy; we 
should only use page_private for pages that we know have a shadow page.

In Jamie's case however, it is x86_64 (so kvm_mmu_get_tdp_level(vcpu) == 
4 and therefore the "if (shadow_root_level >= PT64_ROOT_4LEVEL)" would 
be true) but without EPT.  In that case we go through

	vcpu->arch.mmu->root_hpa = __pa(vcpu->arch.mmu->lm_root);

but lm_root is allocated with get_zeroed_page and therefore 
to_shadow_page is NULL.

I am thinking of testing simply "if (tdp_enabled)" so that we can see if 
there are other cases with to_shadow_page(hpa) == NULL and we don't 
sweep them under the rug.  Or test "if (tdp_enabled)" and also WARN if 
!sp.  What do you think?

That sounds good to me. I see you already mailed out a modified
version of this change, so I'll go review it.
Thanks!
