Move the assertion on the in-progress invalidation count from the primary MMU's notifier path to KVM's common notification path, i.e. assert that the count doesn't go negative even when the invalidation is coming from KVM itself. Opportunistically convert the assertion to a KVM_BUG_ON(), i.e. kill only the affected VM, not the entire kernel. A corrupted count is fatal to the VM, e.g. the non-zero (negative) count will cause mmu_invalidate_retry() to block any and all attempts to install new mappings. But it's far from guaranteed that an end() without a start() is fatal or even problematic to anything other than the target VM, e.g. the underlying bug could simply be a duplicate call to end(). And it's much more likely that a missed invalidation, i.e. a potential use-after-free, would manifest as no notification whatsoever, not an end() without a start().
