The restrictedmem_get_page() has taken a reference, but later KVM
put_page() after populating the secondary page table entry through
kvm_release_pfn_clean(). One option would let the user feature(e.g.
TDX/SEV) to get_page/put_page() during populating the secondary page
table entry, AFAICS, this requirement also comes from these features.
