KVM: x86/mmu: Add lockdep assert to enforce safe usage of kvm_unmap_gfn_range()
Add a lockdep assertion in kvm_unmap_gfn_range() to ensure that either mmu_invalidate_in_progress is elevated, or that the range is being zapped due to memslot removal (loosely detected by slots_lock being held). Zapping SPTEs without mmu_invalidate_{in_progress,seq} protection is unsafe as KVM's page fault path snapshots state before acquiring mmu_lock, and thus can create SPTEs with stale information if vCPUs aren't forced to retry faults (due to seeing an in-progress or past MMU invalidation). Memslot removal is a special case, as the memslot is retrieved outside of mmu_invalidate_seq, i.e. doesn't use the "standard" protections, and instead relies on SRCU synchronization to ensure any in-flight page faults are fully resolved before zapping SPTEs.
