TL;DR: Eliminate KVM's long-standing (and heinous) behavior of essentially
guessing which pfns are refcounted pages (see kvm_pfn_to_refcounted_page()).

Getting there requires "fixing" arch code that isn't obviously broken.
Specifically, to get rid of kvm_pfn_to_refcounted_page(), KVM needs to
stop marking pages/folios dirty/accessed based solely on the pfn that's
stored in KVM's stage-2 page tables.

Instead of tracking which SPTEs correspond to refcounted pages, simply
remove all of the code that operates on "struct page" based ona the pfn
in stage-2 PTEs.  This is the back ~40-50% of the series.
 
For x86 in particular, which sets accessed/dirty status when that info
would be "lost", e.g. when SPTEs are zapped or KVM clears the dirty flag
in a SPTE, foregoing the updates provides very measurable performance
improvements for related operations.  E.g. when clearing dirty bits as
part of dirty logging, and zapping SPTEs to reconstitue huge pages when
disabling dirty logging.

The front ~40% of the series is cleanups and prep work, and most of it is
x86 focused (purely because x86 added the most special cases, *sigh*).
E.g. several of the inputs to hva_to_pfn() (and it's myriad wrappers),
can be removed by cleaning up and deduplicating x86 code.

v13:
 - Rebased onto v6.12-rc2
 - Collect reviews. [Alex and others]
 - Fix a transient bug in arm64 and RISC-V where KVM would leak a page
   refcount. [Oliver]
 - Fix a dangling comment. [Alex]
 - Drop kvm_lookup_pfn(), as the x86 that "needed" it was stupid and is (was?)
   eliminated in v6.12.
 - Drop check_user_page_hwpoison(). [Paolo]
 - Drop the arm64 MTE fixes that went into 6.12.
 - Slightly redo the guest_memfd interaction to account for 6.12 changes.

Here is my own summary of the changes:

patches removed from v12:
01/02 - already upstream
09 - moved to separate A/D series [1]
34 - not needed due to new patch 36
35 - gone after 620525739521376a65a690df899e1596d56791f8

patches added or substantially changed in v13:
05/06/07 - new, suggested by Yan Zhao
08 - code was folded from mmu_spte_age into kvm_rmap_age_gfn_range
14 - new, suggested by me in reply to 84/84 (yuck)
15 - new, suggested by me in reply to 84/84
19 - somewhat rewritten for new follow_pfnmap API
27 - smaller changes due to new follow_pfnmap API
36 - rewritten, suggested by me
45 - new, cleanup
46 - much simplified due to new patch 45

Looks good to me, thanks and congratulations!! Should we merge it in
kvm/next asap?
