[WIP,v2,03/14] KVM: Allow hva_pfn_fast to resolve read-only faults.

hva_to_pfn_fast currently just fails for read-only faults, which is
unnecessary. Instead, try pinning the page without passing FOLL_WRITE.
This allows read-only faults to (potentially) be resolved without
falling back to slow GUP.
