Drop the gfn_to_page() lookup when installing KVM's internal memslot for the APIC access page, as KVM doesn't need to immediately fault-in the page now that the page isn't pinned. In the extremely unlikely event the kernel can't allocate a 4KiB page, KVM can just as easily return -EFAULT on the future page fault.
