KVM: Don't take mmu_lock for range invalidation unless necessary
Avoid taking mmu_lock for .invalidate_range_{start,end}() notifications that are unrelated to KVM. This is possible now that memslot updates are blocked from range_start() to range_end(); that ensures that lock elision happens in both or none, and therefore that mmu_notifier_count updates (which must occur while holding mmu_lock for write) are always paired across start->end. Based on patches originally written by Ben Gardon. Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
