[PATCH 2/2] KVM: Do not speculatively mark pfn cache valid to "fix" race

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When refreshing a stale pfn cache, mark it valid only after the new pfn
(and maybe kernel mapping) has been acquired.  Speculatively marking the
cache as valid with garbage pfn/khva values can lead to other tasks using
the garbage values.  Presumably, the cache was previously marked valid
before dropping gpc->lock to address a race where an mmu_notifier event
could invalidate the cache between retrieving the pfn via hva_to_pfn()
and re-acquiring gpc->lock.  That race has been plugged by waiting for
mn_active_invalidate_count to reach zero before returning from
hva_to_pfn_retry(), i.e. waiting for any notifiers to fully complete
before returning.

Note, this could also be "fixed" by having kvm_gfn_to_pfn_cache_check()
also verify gpc->hkva, but that's unnecessary now that the aforementioned
race between refresh and mmu_notifier invalidation has been eliminated.

  acquire gpc->lock for read
  kvm_gfn_to_pfn_cache_check()
  |
  |-> gpc->valid == true
      gpc->khva  == NULL

  caller dereferences NULL khva

Opportunistically add a lockdep to the check() helper to make it slightly
more obvious that there is no memory ordering issue when setting "valid"
versus "pfn" and/or "khva".
