drm/i915/gvt: remove interface intel_gvt_is_valid_gfn


Currently intel_gvt_is_valid_gfn() is called in two places:
(1) shadowing guest GGTT entry
(2) shadowing guest PPGTT leaf entry,
which was introduced in commit cc753fbe
("drm/i915/gvt: validate gfn before set shadow page entry").

However, now it's not necessary to call this interface any more, because
a. GGTT partial write issue has been fixed by
   commit bc0686ff
   ("drm/i915/gvt: support inconsecutive partial gtt entry write")
   commit 510fe10b
   ("drm/i915/gvt: fix a bug of partially write ggtt enties")
b. PPGTT resides in normal guest RAM and we only treat 8-byte writes
   as valid page table writes. Any invalid GPA found is regarded as
   an error, either due to guest misbehavior/attack or bug in host
   shadow code.
   So,rather than do GFN pre-checking and replace invalid GFNs with
   scratch GFN and continue silently, just remove the pre-checking and
   abort PPGTT shadowing on error detected.
c. GFN validity check is still performed in
   intel_gvt_dma_map_guest_page() --> gvt_pin_guest_page().
   It's more desirable to call VFIO interface to do both validity check
   and mapping.
   Calling intel_gvt_is_valid_gfn() to do GFN validity check from KVM side
   while later mapping the GFN through VFIO interface is unnecessarily
   fragile and confusing for unaware readers.
