cc'ing stable doesn't make sense here as the bug was introduced in
v4.4-rc3 and we didn't release v4.4 yet...

You are right that there was a bug in the fix, but your fix is not the
right one.
Either we have to apply an actual mask and the compare against the value
(yes, I know, because of the UXN bit we get lucky so far, but that's too
brittle), or we should do a translation fo the gfn to a pfn. Is there
anything preventing us to do the following?
if (!pte_none(*pte) && !kvm_is_device_pfn(pte_pfn(*pte)))
