Allow kvm_gmem_get_pfn to return with the folio lock held by adding a
KVM_GMEM_GET_PFN_LOCKED option to `flags`.

When accessing the content of gmem folios, the lock must be held until
kvm_gmem_put_pfn, to avoid concurrent direct map modifications of the
same folio causing use-after-free-like problems. However,
kvm_gmem_get_pfn so far unconditionally drops the folio lock, making it
currently impossible to use the KVM_GMEM_GET_PFN_SHARED flag safely.
