You need to flush the old pfn using VMPAGE_FLUSH before doing put_page.
Normally, this should not happen. But if the user-level VMM is
malicious, then it could just munmap() the region (not the memslot);
mmap() it again; let the guest VM touches the page and you will see this
path get executed.

Clearly, this will slow down the faulting path if this happens. So,
alternatively, you can register a hook in mmu_notifier and shoot a flush
there according to the bitmap. Either way should work.

Here, you get lucky that you don't have to flush the cache. However,
this is because sev_free_memslots is called after the
kvm_arch_destroy_vm, which flushes the cache system wise.
