kvm: Map PFN-type memory regions as writable (if possible)
[ Upstream commit a340b3e2 ] For EPT-violations that are triggered by a read, the pages are also mapped with write permissions (if their memory region is also writable). That would avoid getting yet another fault on the same page when a write occurs. This optimization only happens when you have a "struct page" backing the memory region. So also enable it for memory regions that do not have a "struct page".
