KVM: x86/mmu: avoid NULL-pointer dereference on page freeing bugs

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.
