Rework gfn_to_page() to support read-only accesses so that it can be used by arm64 to get MTE tags out of guest memory. Opportunistically rewrite the comment to be even more stern about using gfn_to_page(), as there are very few scenarios where requiring a struct page is actually the right thing to do (though there are such scenarios). Add a FIXME to call out that KVM probably should be pinning pages, not just getting pages.
