KVM: x86/mmu: Leverage vcpu->last_used_slot for rmap_add and rmap_recycle
rmap_add() and rmap_recycle() both run in the context of the vCPU and thus we can use kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot() to look up the memslot. This enables rmap_add() and rmap_recycle() to take advantage of vcpu->last_used_slot and avoid expensive memslot searching. This change improves the performance of "Populate memory time" in dirty_log_perf_test with tdp_mmu=N. In addition to improving the performance, "Populate memory time" no longer scales with the number of memslots in the VM.
