Thanks, looks like I confused myself a little bit here. You are right.
So in PREEMPT=n kernel, we only couldn't schedule when the async PF
*interrupts* the *kernel*, while in the kvm_handle_page_fault(), we
actually didn't interrupt the kernel, so it's fine.

Sure, I'm going to rename that parameter to "interrupt_kernel"(probably
a bad name"), indicating whether the async PF interrupts the kernel.
But it's a little bit late today, will do that tomorrow.
