Subject: [PATCH v2 4/8] KVM: Put the extra pfn reference when reusing a pfn in
 the gpc cache

Put the struct page reference to pfn acquired by hva_to_pfn() when the
old and new pfns for a gfn=>pfn cache match.  The cache already has a
reference via the old/current pfn, and will only put one reference when
the cache is done with the pfn.

Fixes: 982ed0de4753 ("KVM: Reinstate gfn_to_pfn_cache with invalidation support")
