Rename 3 functions in tdp_mmu.c that handle shadow pages: alloc_tdp_mmu_page() -> tdp_mmu_alloc_sp() tdp_mmu_link_page() -> tdp_mmu_link_sp() tdp_mmu_unlink_page() -> tdp_mmu_unlink_sp() These changed make tdp_mmu a consistent prefix before the verb in the function name, and make it more clear that these functions deal with kvm_mmu_page structs rather than struct pages. One could argue that "shadow page" is the wrong term for a page table in the TDP MMU since it never actually shadows a guest page table. However, "shadow page" (or "sp" for short) has evolved to become the standard term in KVM when referring to a kvm_mmu_page struct, and its associated page table and other metadata, regardless of whether the page table shadows a guest page table. So this commit just makes the TDP MMU more consistent with the rest of KVM. 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.
