To clarify to no update vcpu.stat, let me update the last sentence.
  
  KVM_MAP_MEMORY will call the KVM page fault handler without vcpu stat that
  doesn't make sense for pre-population because pre-population (outside TDX) has
  the purpose of avoiding page faults

For the technical correctness, let me mention about NULL emulation_type.
I added "," and "with non-NULL emulation_type" to the second sentence.
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/621c260399a05338ba6d034e275e19714ad3665c.camel@xxxxxxxxx/

  This patch makes the emulation_type always set, irrelevant to the return
  code. kvm_mmu_page_fault() is the only caller of kvm_mmu_do_page_fault() with
  non-NULL emulation_type and references the value only when PF_RET_EMULATE is
  returned. Therefore, this adjustment doesn't affect functionality.
