KVM: Fix gfn_to_page() acquiring mmap_sem twice

KVM's nopage handler calls gfn_to_page() which acquires the mmap_sem when
calling out to get_user_pages().  nopage handlers are already invoked with the
mmap_sem held though.  Introduce a __gfn_to_page() for use by the nopage
handler which requires the lock to already be held.

This was noticed by tglx.
