KVM: x86: Zap the oldest MMU pages, not the newest

Walk the list of MMU pages in reverse in kvm_mmu_zap_oldest_mmu_pages().
The list is FIFO, meaning new pages are inserted at the head and thus
the oldest pages are at the tail.  Using a "forward" iterator causes KVM
to zap MMU pages that were just added, which obliterates guest
performance once the max number of shadow MMU pages is reached.

Fixes: 6b82ef2c9cf1 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Batch zap MMU pages when recycling oldest pages")
