KVM: Avoid pfn_to_page() and vice versa when releasing pages
Invert the order of KVM's page/pfn release helpers so that the "inner" helper operates on a page instead of a pfn. As pointed out by Linus[*], converting between struct page and a pfn isn't necessarily cheap, and that's not even counting the overhead of is_error_noslot_pfn() and kvm_is_reserved_pfn(). Even if the checks were dirt cheap, there's no reason to convert from a page to a pfn and back to a page, just to mark the page dirty/accessed or to put a reference to the page. Opportunistically drop a stale declaration of kvm_set_page_accessed() from kvm_host.h (there was no implementation). No functional change intended.
