Commit fb341f57 removed the pte prefetch on guest invlpg, citing guest races.
However, the SDM is adamant that prefetch is allowed:
"The processor may create entries in paging-structure caches for
translations required for prefetches and for accesses that are a
result of speculative execution that would never actually occur
in the executed code path."
And, in fact, there was a race in the prefetch code: we picked up the pte
without the mmu lock held, so an older invlpg could install the pte over
a newer invlpg.
Reinstate the prefetch logic, but this time note whether another invlpg has
executed using a counter. If a race occured, do not install the pte.
