[PATCH 1/6] KVM: s390/vfio-ap: Use kvm_is_gpa_in_memslot() instead of open coded equivalent

Use kvm_is_gpa_in_memslot() to check the validity of the notification
indicator byte address instead of open coding equivalent logic in the VFIO
AP driver.

Opportunistically use a dedicated wrapper that exists and is exported
expressly for the VFIO AP module.  kvm_is_gpa_in_memslot() is generally
unsuitable for use outside of KVM; other drivers typically shouldn't rely
on KVM's memslots, and using the API requires kvm->srcu (or slots_lock) to
be held for the entire duration of the usage, e.g. to avoid TOCTOU bugs.
handle_pqap() is a bit of a special case, as it's explicitly invoked from
KVM with kvm->srcu already held, and the VFIO AP driver is in many ways an
extension of KVM that happens to live in a separate module.

Providing a dedicated API for the VFIO AP driver will allow restricting
the vast majority of generic KVM's exports to KVM submodules (e.g. to x86's
kvm-{amd,intel}.ko vendor mdoules).

No functional change intended.
