[ Upstream commit 9191b8f0745e63edf519e4a54a4aaae1d3d46fbd ]
WARN and bail if KVM attempts to free a root that isn't backed by a shadow page. KVM allocates a bare page for "special" roots, e.g. when using PAE paging or shadowing 2/3/4-level page tables with 4/5-level, and so root_hpa will be valid but won't be backed by a shadow page. It's all too easy to blindly call mmu_free_root_page() on root_hpa, be nice and WARN instead of crashing KVM and possibly the kernel.
