This is a follow-up to the RFC implementation [1] that incorporates
review feedback and bug fixes. See the "RFC v1" section below for a 
list of changes.

SEV guest requires the guest's pages to be pinned in host physical
memory as migration of encrypted pages is not supported. The memory
encryption scheme uses the physical address of the memory being
encrypted. If guest pages are moved by the host, content decrypted in
the guest would be incorrect thereby corrupting guest's memory.

For SEV/SEV-ES guests, the hypervisor doesn't know which pages are
encrypted and when the guest is done using those pages. Hypervisor
should treat all the guest pages as encrypted until they are 
deallocated or the guest is destroyed.

While provision a pfn, make KVM aware that guest pages need to be 
pinned for long-term and use appropriate pin_user_pages API for these
special encrypted memory regions. KVM takes the first reference and
holds it until a mapping is done. Take an extra reference before KVM
releases the pfn. 

Actual pinning management is handled by vendor code via new
kvm_x86_ops hooks. MMU calls in to vendor code to pin the page on
demand. Metadata of the pinning is stored in architecture specific
memslot area. During the memslot freeing path and deallocation path
guest pages are unpinned.

* Add the missing RLIMIT_MEMLOCK check. [David Hildenbrand]
* Use pin_user_pages API for long term pinning of pages.
  [David Hildenbrand]
* Flush the page before releasing it to the host system.
