Currently, when we fetch an spte, we only verify that gptes match those that
the walker saw if we build new shadow pages for them.
However, this misses the following race:
vcpu1 vcpu2
walk
change gpte
walk
instantiate sp
fetch existing sp
Fix by validating every gpte, regardless of whether it is used for building
a new sp or not.

See, this gets dropped.

Now we need to change validate_indirect_spte() to account for all levels.
