KVM: x86/mmu: Further check old SPTE is leaf for spurious prefetch fault
Instead of simply treating a prefetch fault as spurious when there's a shadow-present old SPTE, further check if the old SPTE is leaf to determine if a prefetch fault is spurious. It's not reasonable to treat a prefetch fault as spurious when there's a shadow-present non-leaf SPTE without a corresponding shadow-present leaf SPTE. e.g., in the following sequence, a prefetch fault should not be considered spurious: 1. add a memslot with size 4K 2. prefault GPA A in the memslot 3. delete the memslot (zap all disabled) 4. re-add the memslot with size 2M 5. prefault GPA A again. In step 5, the prefetch fault attempts to install a 2M huge entry. Since step 3 zaps the leaf SPTE for GPA A while keeping the non-leaf SPTE, the leaf entry will remain empty after step 5 if the fetch fault is regarded as spurious due to a shadow-present non-leaf SPTE.
