Explicitly exempt ZONE_DEVICE pages from kvm_is_reserved_pfn() and instead manually handle ZONE_DEVICE on a case-by-case basis. For things like page refcounts, KVM needs to treat ZONE_DEVICE pages like normal pages, e.g. put pages grabbed via gup(). But for flows such as setting A/D bits or shifting refcounts for transparent huge pages, KVM needs to to avoid processing ZONE_DEVICE pages as the flows in question lack the underlying machinery for proper handling of ZONE_DEVICE pages.
This fixes a hang reported by Adam Borowski[*] in dev_pagemap_cleanup() when running a KVM guest backed with /dev/dax memory, as KVM straight up doesn't put any references to ZONE_DEVICE pages acquired by gup().
Note, Dan Williams proposed an alternative solution of doing put_page() on ZONE_DEVICE pages immediately after gup() in order to simplify the auditing needed to ensure is_zone_device_page() is called if and only if the backing device is pinned (via gup()). But that approach would break kvm_vcpu_{un}map() as KVM requires the page to be pinned from map() 'til unmap() when accessing guest memory, unlike KVM's secondary MMU, which coordinates with mmu_notifier invalidations to avoid creating stale page references, i.e. doesn't rely on pages being pinned.
