KVM: x86: Fix recording of guest steal time / preempted status

In commit b043138246a4 ("x86/KVM: Make sure KVM_VCPU_FLUSH_TLB flag is
not missed") we switched to using a gfn_to_pfn_cache for accessing the
guest steal time structure in order to allow for an atomic xchg of the
preempted field. This has a couple of problems.

Firstly, kvm_map_gfn() doesn't work at all for IOMEM pages when the
atomic flag is set, which it is in kvm_steal_time_set_preempted(). So a
guest vCPU using an IOMEM page for its steal time would never have its
preempted field set.

Secondly, the gfn_to_pfn_cache is not invalidated in all cases where it
should have been. There are two stages to the GFN->PFN conversion;
first the GFN is converted to a userspace HVA, and then that HVA is
looked up in the process page tables to find the underlying host PFN.
Correct invalidation of the latter would require being hooked up to the
MMU notifiers, but that doesn't happen---so it just keeps mapping and
unmapping the *wrong* PFN after the userspace page tables change.

In the !IOMEM case at least the stale page *is* pinned all the time it's
cached, so it won't be freed and reused by anyone else while still
receiving the steal time updates. The map/unmap dance only takes care
of the KVM administrivia such as marking the page dirty.

Until the gfn_to_pfn cache handles the remapping automatically by
integrating with the MMU notifiers, we might as well not get a
kernel mapping of it, and use the perfectly serviceable userspace HVA
that we already have.  We just need to implement the atomic xchg on
the userspace address with appropriate exception handling, which is
fairly trivial.
