KVM: MMU: Simplify page table walker

Simplify the walker level loop not to carry so much information from one
loop to the next.  In addition to being complex, this made kmap_atomic()
critical sections difficult to manage.

As a result of this change, kmap_atomic() sections are limited to actually
touching the guest pte, which allows the other functions called from the
walker to do sleepy operations.  This will happen when we enable swapping.
