KVM: do not allow mapping valid but non-reference-counted pages
It's possible to create a region which maps valid but non-refcounted pages (e.g., tail pages of non-compound higher order allocations). These host pages can then be returned by gfn_to_page, gfn_to_pfn, etc., family of APIs, which take a reference to the page, which takes it from 0 to 1. When the reference is dropped, this will free the page incorrectly. Fix this by only taking a reference on valid pages if it was non-zero, which indicates it is participating in normal refcounting (and can be released with put_page). This addresses CVE-2021-22543.
