When reloading the guest VMSA for an SEV-SNP vCPU, KVM retrieves the PFN from guest_memfd. Drop the page reference immediately after retrieving the PFN instead of holding it across MMU lock acquisition in preparation for a follow-up patch to stop returning page pointers from guest_memfd PFN lookups. This is safe because the page's validity and presence are governed by KVM's MMU invalidation protocol rather than the page reference. No functional change intended.
