[PATCH 05/21] KVM: x86/mmu: Try to avoid crashing KVM if a MMU memory cache is empty

Attempt to allocate a new object instead of crashing KVM (and likely the kernel) if a memory cache is unexpectedly empty. Use GFP_ATOMIC for the allocation as the caches are used while holding mmu_lock. The immediate BUG_ON() makes the code unnecessarily explosive and led to confusing minimums being used in the past, e.g. allocating 4 objects where 1 would suffice.
