KVMGT is the only user of kvm_page_track_is_valid_gfn().  kvm_is_visible_gfn()
has other users, just not in x86.  And long term, my goal is to allow building
KVM x86 without any exports.  Killing off KVM's "internal" (for vendor modules)
exports for select Kconfigs is easy enough, add adding a dedicated page-track API
solves the KVMGT angle.
