VMCI: Fix two UVA mapping bugs
(this is a resend of this patch. Originally sent last year, but post appears to have been lost) This change fixes two bugs in the VMCI host driver related to mapping the notify boolean from user space into kernel space: - the actual UVA was rounded up to the next page boundary - resulting in memory corruption in the calling process whenever notifications would be signalled. This has been fixed by just removing the PAGE_ALIGN part, since get_user_pages_fast can figure this out on its own - the mapped page wasn't stored anywhere, so it wasn't unmapped and put back when a VMCI context was destroyed. Fixed this by remembering the page.
