KVM: MMU: Remove global pte tracking
The initial, noncaching, version of the kvm mmu flushed the all nonglobal shadow page table translations (much like a native tlb flush). The new implementation flushes translations only when they change, rendering global pte tracking superfluous. This removes the unused tracking mechanism and storage space. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
