lguest: use get_user_pages_fast() instead of get_user_pages()
Using a simple page table thrashing program I measure a slight improvement. The program creates five processes. Each touches 1000 pages then schedules the next process. We repeat this 1000 times. As lguest only caches 4 cr3 values, this rebuilds a lot of shadow page tables requiring virt->phys mappings. Before: 5.93 seconds After: 5.40 seconds (Counts of slow vs fastpath in this usage are 6092 and 2852462 respectively.) And more importantly for lguest, the code is simpler.
