I don't know What WARN_ON() you're referring to, but there is a double-free bug
if unmap() runs during an invalidation.  That can be solved without having to
take the mutex though, just reset valid/pfn/khva before the retry.

When searching to see how unmap() was used in the original series (there's no
other user besides destroy...), I stumbled across this likely-related syzbot bug
that unfortunately didn't Cc KVM :-(
