KVM: x86/mmu: Walk host page tables to find THP mappings
Explicitly walk the host page tables to identify THP mappings instead of relying solely on the metadata in struct page. This sets the stage for using a common method of identifying huge mappings regardless of the underlying implementation (HugeTLB vs THB vs DAX), and hopefully avoids the pitfalls of relying on metadata to identify THP mappings, e.g. see commit 169226f7 ("mm: thp: handle page cache THP correctly in PageTransCompoundMap") and the need for KVM to explicitly check for a THP compound page. KVM will also naturally work with 1gb THP pages, if they are ever supported. Walking the tables for THP mappings is likely marginally slower than querying metadata, but a future patch will reuse the walk to identify HugeTLB mappings, at which point eliminating the existing VMA lookup for HugeTLB will make this a net positive.
