Now that the fast invalidate mechanism has been reintroduced, restore
the performance tweaks for fast invalidation that existed prior to its
removal.
Paraphrashing the original changelog:
Zap at least 10 shadow pages before releasing mmu_lock to reduce the
overhead associated with re-acquiring the lock.
Note: "10" is an arbitrary number, speculated to be high enough so
that a vCPU isn't stuck zapping obsolete pages for an extended period,
but small enough so that other vCPUs aren't starved waiting for
mmu_lock.
This reverts commit 43d2b14b10.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
