KVM: MMU: Partial swapping of guest memory

This allows guest memory to be swapped.  Pages which are currently mapped
via shadow page tables are pinned into memory, but all other pages can
be freely swapped.

The patch makes gfn_to_page() elevate the page's reference count, and
introduces kvm_release_page() that pairs with it.
