[RESEND PATCH 1/3] kvm: calculate correct gfn for small host pageswhich emulates large guest pages

In Document/kvm/mmu.txt:
gfn:
Either the guest page table containing the translations shadowed by this
page, or the base page frame for linear translations. See role.direct.

But in function FNAME(fetch)(), sp->gfn is incorrect when one of following
situations occurred:
1) guest is 32bit paging and the guest PDE maps a 4-MByte page
(backed by 4k host pages), FNAME(fetch)() miss handling the quadrant.

And if guest use pse-36, "table_gfn = gpte_to_gfn(gw->ptes[level - delta]);"
is incorrect.
2) guest is long mode paging and the guest PDPTE maps a 1-GByte page
(backed by 4k or 2M host pages).

So we fix it to suit to the document and suit to the code which
requires sp->gfn correct when sp->role.direct=1.

We use the goal mapping gfn(gw->gfn) to calculate the base page frame
for linear translations, it is simple and easy to be understood.
