Decompose kvm_mmu_get_page() into separate helper functions to increase readability and prepare for allocating shadow pages without a vcpu pointer. Specifically, pull the guts of kvm_mmu_get_page() into 2 helper functions: kvm_mmu_find_shadow_page() - Walks the page hash checking for any existing mmu pages that match the given gfn and role. kvm_mmu_alloc_shadow_page() Allocates and initializes an entirely new kvm_mmu_page. This currently requries a vcpu pointer for allocation and looking up the memslot but that will be removed in a future commit. No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
