[RFC PATCH 09/18] KVM: x86: Add vCPU fault fast-path for Userfault

[James Houghton]

Without this fast-path, we will take the asynchronous userfault path
every time, which is inefficient.

As implemented today, KVM Userfault isn't well optimized at all, but I'm
providing this optimization because something like this will be required
to significantly improve post-copy performance. Memory fault exits for
userfaultfd were proposed for the same reason[1].
