Although it works, I think PageVmemmapSelfHosted() check for the 1st pfn's
vmemmap page is not always reliable.  Since we reused PG_owner_priv_1
as PG_vmemmap_self_hosted, the test is noly reliable for vmemmap page's
vmemmap page.  Other non-vmemmap page can be flagged with PG_owner_priv_1.
So this check can be false-positive. Maybe the following code snippet is
the solution.

Any thoughts? Oscar or David.
