[PATCH v12 47/84] KVM: x86/mmu: Don't mark unused faultin pages as accessed

[Sean Christopherson]

When finishing guest page faults, don't mark pages as accessed if KVM
is resuming the guest _without_ installing a mapping, i.e. if the page
isn't being used.  While it's possible that marking the page accessed
could avoid minor thrashing due to reclaiming a page that the guest is
about to access, it's far more likely that the gfn=>pfn mapping was
was invalidated, e.g. due a memslot change, or because the corresponding
VMA is being modified.
