Revert "KVM: Support vCPU-based gfn->hva cache"
commit 4e335d9e upstream. This reverts commit bbd64115. I've been sitting on this revert for too long and it unfortunately missed 4.11. It's also the reason why I haven't merged ring-based dirty tracking for 4.12. Using kvm_vcpu_memslots in kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init and kvm_vcpu_write_guest_offset_cached means that the MSR value can now be used to access SMRAM, simply by making it point to an SMRAM physical address. This is problematic because it lets the guest OS overwrite memory that it shouldn't be able to touch.
