common: map_vcpu_info() wants to unshare the underlying page

Not passing P2M_UNSHARE to get_page_from_gfn() means there won't even be
an attempt to unshare the referenced page, without any indication to the
caller (e.g. -EAGAIN). Note that guests have no direct control over
which of their pages are shared (or paged out), and hence they have no
way to make sure all on their own that the subsequent obtaining of a
writable type reference can actually succeed.
