More booleans!?  Just say no!  And in this case, there's no reason to pass in a
flag, just handle this entirely in __kvm_faultin_pfn().

On a related topic, I would *love* for someone to overhaul gfn_to_pfn() to replace
the "booleans for everything" approach and instead have KVM pass FOLL_* flags
internally.  Rough sketch here: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/ZGvUsf7lMkrNDHuE%40google.com
