KVM: s390: fix race in gmap_make_secure()
Fix a potential race in gmap_make_secure() and remove the last user of follow_page() without FOLL_GET. The old code is locking something it doesn't have a reference to, and as explained by Jason and David in this discussion: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/Y9J4P%2FRNvY1Ztn0Q@nvidia.com/ it can lead to all kind of bad things, including the page getting unmapped (MADV_DONTNEED), freed, reallocated as a larger folio and the unlock_page() would target the wrong bit. There is also another race with the FOLL_WRITE, which could race between the follow_page() and the get_locked_pte(). The main point is to remove the last use of follow_page() without FOLL_GET or FOLL_PIN, removing the races can be considered a nice bonus.
