That looks correct to me, mm_ops is used in __kvm_pgtable_visit(), and then only
the phys_to_virt field callback is used. kvm_host_va() is also the callback used
by kvm_s2_mm_ops, which looks right to me.

Sean explained well why holding the mmap lock isn't needed here. The patch looks
correct to me:
