KVM: Avoid pfn_to_page() and vice versa when releasing pages

Invert the order of KVM's page/pfn release helpers so that the "inner"
helper operates on a page instead of a pfn.  As pointed out by Linus[*],
converting between struct page and a pfn isn't necessarily cheap, and
that's not even counting the overhead of is_error_noslot_pfn() and
kvm_is_reserved_pfn().  Even if the checks were dirt cheap, there's no
reason to convert from a page to a pfn and back to a page, just to mark
the page dirty/accessed or to put a reference to the page.

Opportunistically drop a stale declaration of kvm_set_page_accessed()
from kvm_host.h (there was no implementation).

No functional change intended.
