This can be reproduced readily by ept=N and running syzkaller tests since
many syzkaller testcases don't setup any memory regions. However, if ept=Y
rmode identity map will be created, then kvm_mmu_calculate_mmu_pages() will
extend the number of VM's mmu pages to at least KVM_MIN_ALLOC_MMU_PAGES
which just hide the issue.

I saw the scenario kvm->arch.n_max_mmu_pages == 0 && kvm->arch.n_used_mmu_pages == 1,
so there is one active mmu page on the list, kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() fails
to zap any pages, however prepare_zap_oldest_mmu_page() always returns true.
It incurs infinite loop in make_mmu_pages_available() which causes mmu->lock
softlockup.

This patch fixes it by setting the return value of prepare_zap_oldest_mmu_page()
according to whether or not there is mmu page zapped.
