n_requested_mmu_pages/n_free_mmu_pages are used by
kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages to calculate the number of pages to zap.

alloc_mmu_pages, called from the vcpu initialization path, modifies this
variables without proper locking, which can result in a negative value
in kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages (say, with cpu hotplug).
