KVM: Add kvm_faultin_pfn() to specifically service guest page faults

Add a new dedicated API, kvm_faultin_pfn(), for servicing guest page
faults, i.e. for getting pages/pfns that will be mapped into the guest via
an mmu_notifier-protected KVM MMU.  Keep struct kvm_follow_pfn buried in
internal code, as having __kvm_faultin_pfn() take "out" params is actually
cleaner for several architectures, e.g. it allows the caller to have its
own "page fault" structure without having to marshal data to/from
kvm_follow_pfn.

Long term, common KVM would ideally provide a kvm_page_fault structure, a
la x86's struct of the same name.  But all architectures need to be
converted to a common API before that can happen.
