[PATCH v12 11/84] KVM: Rename gfn_to_page_many_atomic() to kvm_prefetch_pages()

Rename gfn_to_page_many_atomic() to kvm_prefetch_pages() to try and
communicate its true purpose, as the "atomic" aspect is essentially a
side effect of the fact that x86 uses the API while holding mmu_lock.
E.g. even if mmu_lock weren't held, KVM wouldn't want to fault-in pages,
as the goal is to opportunistically grab surrounding pages that have
already been accessed and/or dirtied by the host, and to do so quickly.
