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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
