The code being changed was added in 4.19, so that's the earliest kernel version
to which it makes sense to backport.  53edce00ceb74 is an unrelated change
to the same line of code (changes PAGE_SIZE to HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE), so a bespoke
version of this patch is needed for the stable trees.  All-in-all, this patch is a modest
optimization, so backporting is nice but not required.
