KVM: x86/mmu: Harden new PGD against roots without shadow pages
Harden kvm_mmu_new_pgd() against NULL pointer dereference bugs by sanity checking that the target root has an associated shadow page prior to dereferencing said shadow page. The code in question is guaranteed to only see roots with shadow pages as fast_pgd_switch() explicitly frees the current root if it doesn't have a shadow page, i.e. is a PAE root, and that in turn prevents valid roots from being cached, but that's all very subtle.
