The memslot for the faulting gfn is used throughout the page fault handling code, so capture it in kvm_page_fault as soon as we know the gfn and use it in the page fault handling code that has direct access to the kvm_page_fault struct. Replace various tests using is_noslot_pfn with more direct tests on fault->slot being NULL. This, in combination with the subsequent patch, improves "Populate memory time" in dirty_log_perf_test by 5% when using the legacy MMU. There is no discerable improvement to the performance of the TDP MMU. No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
