X86/KVM: Handle PFNs outside of kernel reach when touching GPTEs
cmpxchg_gpte() calls get_user_pages_fast() to retrieve the number of pages and the respective struct page to map in the kernel virtual address space. This doesn't work if get_user_pages_fast() is invoked with a userspace virtual address that's backed by PFNs outside of kernel reach (e.g., when limiting the kernel memory with mem= in the command line and using /dev/mem to map memory). If get_user_pages_fast() fails, look up the VMA that back the userspace virtual address, compute the PFN and the physical address, and map it in the kernel virtual address space with memremap().
