        KVM: do not allow mapping valid but non-reference-counted pages

        It's possible to create a region which maps valid but non-refcounted
        pages (e.g., tail pages of non-compound higher order allocations). These
        host pages can then be returned by gfn_to_page, gfn_to_pfn, etc., family
        of APIs, which take a reference to the page, which takes it from 0 to 1.
        When the reference is dropped, this will free the page incorrectly.

        Fix this by only taking a reference on valid pages if it was non-zero,
        which indicates it is participating in normal refcounting (and can be
        released with put_page).

        This addresses CVE-2021-22543.
