KVM: PPC: Use kvm_vcpu_map() to map guest memory to patch dcbz instructions

Browse source

Use kvm_vcpu_map() when patching dcbz in guest memory, as a regular GUP
isn't technically sufficient when writing to data in the target pages.
As per Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst:

      Correct (uses FOLL_PIN calls):
          pin_user_pages()
          write to the data within the pages
          unpin_user_pages()

      INCORRECT (uses FOLL_GET calls):
          get_user_pages()
          write to the data within the pages
          put_page()

As a happy bonus, using kvm_vcpu_{,un}map() takes care of creating a
mapping and marking the page dirty.
