[BUGFIX] kvm, Fix a race condition for usage of is_hwpoison_address

[Huang Ying]

is_hwpoison_address accesses the page table, so the caller must hold
current->mm->mmap_sem in read mode. So fix its usage in hav_to_pfn of
kvm accordingly.

Comments on is_hwpoison_address are added to remind other users.
