That code is gone in kvm/queue.  thp_adjust() is now called from
__direct_map() and FNAME(fetch), and so its pfn adjustment doesn't bleed
back to the page fault handlers.  The only reason the put/get pfn code
existed was because the page fault handlers called kvm_release_pfn_clean()
on the pfn, i.e. they would have put the wrong pfn.
