Ignoring the PSMASH failure is pretty scary...  At this point 
free_folio cannot fail, should the psmash part of this patch be done in 
kvm_gmem_invalidate_begin() before kvm_mmu_unmap_gfn_range()?

Also, can you get PSMASH_FAIL_INUSE and if so what's the best way to 
address it?  Should fallocate() return -EBUSY?

Thanks,
