Hmm, silently skipping the faultin would result in KVM faulting in the shared
portion of the memslot, and I believe would end up mapping that pfn as private,
i.e. would map a non-UPM PFN as a private mapping.  For TDX and SNP, that would
be double ungood as it would let the host access memory that is mapped private,
i.e. lead to #MC or #PF(RMP) in the host.

I believe the correct solution is to drop the "can be private" check from the
above check, and instead handle that in kvm_faultin_pfn_private().  That would fix
another bug, e.g. if the fault is shared, the slot can't be private, but for
whatever reason userspace marked the gfn as private.  Even though KVM might be
able service the fault, the correct thing to do in that case is to exit to userspace.

E.g.
