[PATCH 07/10] KVM/nVMX: Use kvm_vcpu_map when mapping the posted interrupt descriptor table

... since using kvm_vcpu_gpa_to_page() and kmap() will only work for guest
memory that has a "struct page".

The life-cycle of the mapping also changes to avoid doing map and unmap on
every single exit (which becomes very expesive once we use memremap). Now
the memory is mapped and only unmapped when a new VMCS12 is loaded into the
vCPU (or when the vCPU is freed!).
