The path in mmu_page_zap_pte() that recursively zaps a parentless nested TDP child has no such check. As a result, a shadow page can be zapped even if the page itself can't be freed; as the comment in kvm_mmu_zap_oldest_mmu_pages() notes, zapping it will just force vCPUs to rebuild the page. As in top-level reclaim, do not recursively prepare zapping of a nested TDP child whose root_count is non-zero.
