If we keep this the way it currently is then the comment needs to go to
the EFAULT check since it makes no sense above the gmap_translate().

So we had a valid gmap PTE to end up here where the guest touched a
secure page and triggered the exception. But we suddenly can't translate
the gaddr to a vmaddr because the gmap tracking doesn't have an entry
for the address.

My first instinct is to SIGSEGV the process since I can't come up with a
way out of this situation except for the process to map this back in.
The only reason I can think of that it was removed from the mapping is
malicious intent or a bug.

I think this is needs a VM_FAULT_BADMAP and a do_fault_error() call.
