[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 39/65] vfio/type1: Mark follow_pfn as unsafe

The code seems to stuff these pfns into iommu pts (or something like
that, I didn't follow), but there's no mmu_notifier to ensure that
access is synchronized with pte updates.

Hence mark these as unsafe. This means that with
CONFIG_STRICT_FOLLOW_PFN, these will be rejected.

Real fix is to wire up an mmu_notifier ... somehow. Probably means any
invalidate is a fatal fault for this vfio device, but then this
shouldn't ever happen if userspace is reasonable.
