Clean up KVM's PV TLB flushing when running with EPT on Hyper-V, i.e. as
a nested VMM.  No real goal in mind other than the sole patch in v1, which
is a minor change to avoid a future mixup when TDX also wants to define
.remote_flush_tlb.  Everything else is opportunistic clean up.

Patch 1 legitimately tested on VMX (no SVM), everything else effectively
build tested only.

v3:
   - Add a patch to pass the root_hpa instead of pgd to vmx_load_mmu_pgd()
     and retrieve the active PCID only when necessary.  [Vitaly]
   - Selectively collects reviews (skipped a few due to changes). [Vitaly]
   - Explicitly invalidate hv_tlb_eptp instead of leaving it valid when
     the mismatch tracker "knows" it's invalid. [Vitaly]
   - Change the last patch to use "hv_root_ept" instead of "hv_tlb_pgd"
     to better reflect what is actually being tracked.

v2: Rewrite everything.
