lookup_address_in_mm() walks the host page table as if it is a

Yeah, it's broken. The proper fix is do something like what perf uses, or maybe
just genericize and reuse the code from commit 8af26be06272
("perf/core: Fix arch_perf_get_page_size()).
Indeed, KVM could use perf_get_pgtable_size(). The conversion from the
result of *_leaf_size() to level is basically (ctz(size) - 12) / 9.
Alternatively, there are the three difference between
perf_get_page_size() and lookup_address_in_pgd():
* the *_offset_lockless() macros, which are unnecessary on x86
* READ_ONCE, which is important but in practice unlikely to make a
difference
* local_irq_{save,restore} around the walk
The last is the important one and it should be added to
lookup_address_in_pgd().
