Sean Christopherson 9f87791d68 KVM: Drop KVM's API to allow temporarily unmapping gfn=>pfn cache
Drop kvm_gpc_unmap() as it has no users and unclear requirements.  The
API was added as part of the original gfn_to_pfn_cache support, but its
sole usage[*] was never merged.  Fold the guts of kvm_gpc_unmap() into
the deactivate path and drop the API.  Omit acquiring refresh_lock as
as concurrent calls to kvm_gpc_deactivate() are not allowed (this is
not enforced, e.g. via lockdep. due to it being called during vCPU
destruction).

If/when temporary unmapping makes a comeback, the desirable behavior is
likely to restrict temporary unmapping to vCPU-exclusive mappings and
require the vcpu->mutex be held to serialize unmap.  Use of the
refresh_lock to protect unmapping was somewhat specuatively added by
commit 93984f19e7 ("KVM: Fully serialize gfn=>pfn cache refresh via
mutex") to guard against concurrent unmaps, but the primary use case of
the temporary unmap, nested virtualization[*], doesn't actually need or
want concurrent unmaps.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
