KVM: MMU: calculate correct gfn for small host pages backing large guest pages
In Documentation/kvm/mmu.txt:
gfn:
Either the guest page table containing the translations shadowed by this
page, or the base page frame for linear translations. See role.direct.
But in function FNAME(fetch)(), sp->gfn is incorrect when one of following
situations occurred:
1) guest is 32bit paging and the guest PDE maps a 4-MByte page
(backed by 4k host pages), FNAME(fetch)() miss handling the quadrant.
And if guest use pse-36, "table_gfn = gpte_to_gfn(gw->ptes[level - delta]);"
is incorrect.
2) guest is long mode paging and the guest PDPTE maps a 1-GByte page
(backed by 4k or 2M host pages).
So we fix it to suit to the document and suit to the code which
requires sp->gfn correct when sp->role.direct=1.
We use the goal mapping gfn(gw->gfn) to calculate the base page frame
for linear translations, it is simple and easy to be understood.

KVM: MMU: Don't allocate gfns page for direct mmu pages
When sp->role.direct is set, sp->gfns does not contain any essential
information, leaf sptes reachable from this sp are for a continuous
guest physical memory range (a linear range).
So sp->gfns[i] (if it was set) equals to sp->gfn + i. (PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL)
Obviously, it is not essential information, we can calculate it when need.
It means we don't need sp->gfns when sp->role.direct=1,
Thus we can save one page usage for every kvm_mmu_page.
Note:
Access to sp->gfns must be wrapped by kvm_mmu_page_get_gfn()
or kvm_mmu_page_set_gfn().
It is only exposed in FNAME(sync_page).

Although we always allocate a new dirty bitmap in x86's get_dirty_log(),

this unnecessary zero-source allocation.
Performance improvement: as we can expect easily, the time needed to
allocate a bitmap is completely reduced. In my test, the improved ioctl
was about 4 to 10 times faster than the original one for clean slots.
Furthermore, reducing memory allocations and copies will produce good
effects to caches too.
