Move the checks related to the validity of an access to a memslot from the inner __kvm_faultin_pfn() to its sole caller, kvm_faultin_pfn(). This allows emulating accesses to the APIC access page, which don't need to resolve a pfn, even if there is a relevant in-progress mmu_notifier invalidation. Ditto for accesses to KVM internal memslots from L2, which KVM also treats as emulated MMIO. More importantly, this will allow for future cleanup by having the "no memslot" case bail from kvm_faultin_pfn() very early on. Go to rather extreme and gross lengths to make the change a glorified nop, e.g. call into __kvm_faultin_pfn() even when there is no slot, as the related code is very subtle. E.g. fault->slot can be nullified if it points at the APIC access page, some flows in KVM x86 expect fault->pfn to be KVM_PFN_NOSLOT, while others check only fault->slot, etc. 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 reStructuredText 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.
