[PATCH v5 2/2] kvm: Use huge pages for DAX-backed files

[Barret Rhoden]

This change allows KVM to map DAX-backed files made of huge pages with
huge mappings in the EPT/TDP.

DAX pages are not PageTransCompound.  The existing check is trying to
determine if the mapping for the pfn is a huge mapping or not.  For
non-DAX maps, e.g. hugetlbfs, that means checking PageTransCompound.
For DAX, we can check the page table itself.

Note that KVM already faulted in the page (or huge page) in the host's
page table, and we hold the KVM mmu spinlock.  We grabbed that lock in
kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end, before checking the mmu seq.
