This should really use INVALID_GPA when checking internal gpc state.  Mostly to
help clarify what is/isn't KVM Xen ABI, but also because I don't like the subtle
assumption that KVM_XEN_INVALID_GPA == INVALID_GPA.

Even better, if we slot in two helpers when the HVA-based GPC support is added,
then the Xen code doesn't need to to make assumptions about how the GPC code
manages HVA vs. GPA internally.  E.g. if we ever refactor the code again and use
a dedicated flag instead of gpc->gpa as the implicit flag.

  static inline bool kvm_gpc_is_gpa_active(struct gfn_to_pfn_cache *gpc)
  {
	return gpc->active && !kvm_is_error_gpa(gpc->gpa);
  }

  static inline bool kvm_gpc_is_hva_active(struct gfn_to_pfn_cache *gpc)
  {
	return gpc->active && kvm_is_error_gpa(gpc->gpa);
  }
