[PATCH v2 2/2] drm/i915/gvt: subsitute kvm_read/write_guest with vfio_dma_rw

[Yan Zhao <yan.y.zhao@intel.com>]

As a device model, it is better to read/write guest memory using vfio
interface, so that vfio is able to maintain dirty info of device IOVAs.

Compared to kvm interfaces kvm_read/write_guest(), vfio_dma_rw() has ~600
cycles more overhead on average.

-------------------------------------
|    interface     | avg cpu cycles |
|-----------------------------------|
| kvm_write_guest  |     1554       |
| ----------------------------------|
| kvm_read_guest   |     707        |
|-----------------------------------|
| vfio_dma_rw(w)   |     2274       |
|-----------------------------------|
| vfio_dma_rw(r)   |     1378       |
-------------------------------------

Comparison of benchmarks scores are as blow:
------------------------------------------------------
|  avg score  | kvm_read/write_guest  | vfio_dma_rw  |
|----------------------------------------------------|
|   Glmark2   |         1284          |    1296      |
|----------------------------------------------------|
|  Lightsmark |         61.24         |    61.27     |
|----------------------------------------------------|
|  OpenArena  |         140.9         |    137.4     |
|----------------------------------------------------|
|   Heaven    |          671          |     670      |
------------------------------------------------------
No obvious performance downgrade found.
