'git branch' creates a new branch. Try the following

git fetch origin
git checkout origin/per-page-pte-tracking

If that doesn't work (old git) try

git fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/avi/kvm.git
per-page-pte-tracking:refs/heads/per-page-pte-tracking
git checkout per-page-pte-tracking
