KVM: x86: Use __try_cmpxchg_user() to emulate atomic accesses

commit 1c2361f667f3648855ceae25f1332c18413fdb9f upstream.

Use the recently introduce __try_cmpxchg_user() to emulate atomic guest
accesses via the associated userspace address instead of mapping the
backing pfn into kernel address space.  Using kvm_vcpu_map() is unsafe as
it does not coordinate with KVM's mmu_notifier to ensure the hva=>pfn
translation isn't changed/unmapped in the memremap() path, i.e. when
there's no struct page and thus no elevated refcount.
