Move the hva->gfn lookup for MMU notifiers into common code. Every arch does a similar lookup, and some arch code is all but identical across multiple architectures. In addition to consolidating code, this will allow introducing optimizations that will benefit all architectures without incurring multiple walks of the memslots, e.g. by taking mmu_lock if and only if a relevant range exists in the memslots. The use of __always_inline to avoid indirect call retpolines, as done by x86, may also benefit other architectures. Consolidating the lookups also fixes a wart in x86, where the legacy MMU and TDP MMU each do their own memslot walks. Lastly, future enhancements to the memslot implementation, e.g. to add an interval tree to track host address, will need to touch far less arch specific code. MIPS, PPC, and arm64 will be converted one at a time in future patches.

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.
