KVM: Don't grab reference on VM_MIXEDMAP pfns that have a "struct page"


Now that KVM no longer relies on an ugly heuristic to find its struct page
references, i.e. now that KVM can't get false positives on VM_MIXEDMAP
pfns, remove KVM's hack to elevate the refcount for pfns that happen to
have a valid struct page.  In addition to removing a long-standing wart
in KVM, this allows KVM to map non-refcounted struct page memory into the
guest, e.g. for exposing GPU TTM buffers to KVM guests.
