Right, it's because the previous kvm_tdp_map_page() updates fault->max_level in
kvm_mmu_faultin_pfn_private() by checking the private_max_mapping_level hook.

However, private_max_mapping_level() skips the faultin step and goes straight
to kvm_tdp_mmu_map().

Looks [1] can also address this issue. Not sure which one Sean prefers.
