I think we shouldn't zap all memslots when kvm_mmu_zap_collapsible_sptes
only wanted to zap a specific one.
Please add a list of memslots to be zapped; delete from the list here
and add in kvm_mmu_zap_collapsible_sptes().

The list can also serve in place of zap_in_progress -- if there were any
elements in it, then there is no need to schedule the work again.
Thanks.
