Page fault error handling behavior in kvm seems little inconsistent when
page fault reports error. If we are doing fault synchronously
then we capture error (-EFAULT) returned by __gfn_to_pfn_memslot() and
exit to user space and qemu reports error, "error: kvm run failed Bad address".

But if we are doing async page fault, then async_pf_execute() will simply
ignore the error reported by get_user_pages_remote() or
by kvm_mmu_do_page_fault(). It is assumed that page fault was successful
and either a page ready event is injected in guest or guest is brought
out of artificial halt state and run again. In both the cases when guest
retries the instruction, it takes exit again as page fault was not
successful in previous attempt. And then this infinite loop continues
forever.

Trying fault in a loop will make sense if error is temporary and will
be resolved on retry. But I don't see any intention in the code to
determine if error is temporary or not.  Whether to do fault synchronously
or asynchronously, depends on so many variables but none of the varibales
is whether error is temporary or not. (kvm_can_do_async_pf()).

And that makes it very inconsistent or unpredictable to figure out whether
kvm will exit to qemu with error or it will just retry and go into an
infinite loop.

This patch tries to make this behavior consistent. That is instead of
getting into infinite loop of retrying page fault, exit to user space
and stop VM if page fault error happens.

In future this can be improved by injecting errors into guest. As of
now we don't have any race free method to inject errors in guest.

When page fault error happens in async path save that pfn and when next
time guest retries, do a sync fault instead of async fault. So that if error
is encountered, we exit to qemu and avoid infinite loop.

We maintain a cache of error gfns and force sync fault if a gfn is
found in cache of error gfn. There is a small possibility that we
miss an error gfn (as it got overwritten by a new error gfn). But
its just a hint and sooner or later some error pfn will match
and we will force sync fault and exit to user space.

Change from v1:

- Maintain a cache of error gfns, instead of single gfn. (Vitaly)
