Drop the gfn_to_page() lookup when installing KVM's internal memslot for
the APIC access page, as KVM doesn't need to immediately fault-in the page
now that the page isn't pinned.  In the extremely unlikely event the
kernel can't allocate a 4KiB page, KVM can just as easily return -EFAULT
on the future page fault.
