The vhost_set_vring_num_addr() could be called in the middle of invalidate_range_start() and invalidate_range_end(). If we don't reset invalidate_count after the un-registering of MMU notifier, the invalidate_cont will run out of sync (e.g never reach zero). This will in fact disable the fast accessor path. Fixing by reset the count to zero. Reported-by: Michael S.
