[PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Respect user goal_nr_mmu_pages after zapping oldest pages

[fuqiang wang <fuqiang.wng@gmail.com>]

When kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() shrinks the shadow page limit and the
current number of shadow pages exceeds the requested goal, it zaps the
oldest MMU pages and then updates n_max_mmu_pages.

Previously the new limit was set unconditionally to the current
mmu_shadow_pages value observed after zapping. However, zapping can
reduce mmu_shadow_pages below the user-requested goal_nr_mmu_pages,
since a single __kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() may reclaim more than one
MMU page (it also zaps unsync/child pages). This could then clamp the
limit below the user's intent.

Use max(mmu_shadow_pages, goal_nr_mmu_pages) so the user-requested goal
is honored even if zapping overshoots.
