KVM: MMU: Don't allocate gfns page for direct mmu pages
When sp->role.direct is set, sp->gfns does not contain any essential information, leaf sptes reachable from this sp are for a continuous guest physical memory range (a linear range). So sp->gfns[i] (if it was set) equals to sp->gfn + i. (PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL) Obviously, it is not essential information, we can calculate it when need. It means we don't need sp->gfns when sp->role.direct=1, Thus we can save one page usage for every kvm_mmu_page. Note: Access to sp->gfns must be wrapped by kvm_mmu_page_get_gfn() or kvm_mmu_page_set_gfn(). It is only exposed in FNAME(sync_page).
