Add a helper to check that the incoming length for a gfn_to_pfn_cache is

the inner refresh path into activate() and the public rerfresh() APIs, at

nit: typo

which point KVM will check the length in three separate places.

Deliberately keep the "page offset" logic open coded, as the only other
path that consumes the offset, __kvm_gpc_refresh(), already needs to
differentiate between GPA-based and HVA-based caches, and it's not obvious
that using a helper is a net positive in overall code readability.

Note, for GPA-based caches, this has a subtle side effect of using the GPA
instead of the resolved HVA in the check() path, but that should be a nop
as the HVA offset is derived from the GPA, i.e. the two offsets are
identical, barring a KVM bug.
