From: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>
Subject: x86/paging: Delete update_cr3()'s do_locking parameter

Nicola reports that the XSA-438 fix introduced new MISRA violations because of
some incidental tidying it tried to do.  The parameter is useless, so resolve
the MISRA regression by removing it.

hap_update_cr3() discards the parameter entirely, while sh_update_cr3() uses
it to distinguish internal and external callers and therefore whether the
paging lock should be taken.

However, we have paging_lock_recursive() for this purpose, which also avoids
the ability for the shadow internal callers to accidentally not hold the lock.

Fixes: fb0ff49fe9f7 ("x86/shadow: defer releasing of PV's top-level shadow reference")
