commit 2a8859f3 upstream.

FNAME(cmpxchg_gpte) is an inefficient mess.  It is at least decent if it
can go through get_user_pages_fast(), but if it cannot then it tries to
use memremap(); that is not just terribly slow, it is also wrong because
it assumes that the VM_PFNMAP VMA is contiguous.

The right way to do it would be to do the same thing as
hva_to_pfn_remapped() does since commit add6a0cd ("KVM: MMU: try to
fix up page faults before giving up", 2016-07-05), using follow_pte()
and fixup_user_fault() to determine the correct address to use for
memremap().  To do this, one could for example extract hva_to_pfn()
for use outside virt/kvm/kvm_main.c.  But really there is no reason to
do that either, because there is already a perfectly valid address to
do the cmpxchg() on, only it is a userspace address.  That means doing
user_access_begin()/user_access_end() and writing the code in assembly
to handle ...
