KVM: Reduce stack usage in kvm_pv_mmu_op()
(cherry picked from commit 6ad18fba05228fb1d47cdbc0339fe8b3fca1ca26)
We're in a hot path. We can't use kmalloc() because
it might impact performance. So, we just stick the buffer that
we need into the kvm_vcpu_arch structure. This is used very
often, so it is not really a waste.
We also have to move the buffer structure's definition to the
arch-specific x86 kvm header.
