KVM: Fully serialize gfn=>pfn cache refresh via mutex
Protect gfn=>pfn cache refresh with a mutex to fully serialize refreshes. The refresh logic doesn't protect against - concurrent unmaps, or refreshes with different GPAs (which may or may not happen in practice, for example if a cache is only used under vcpu->mutex; but it's allowed in the code) - a false negative on the memslot generation. If the first refresh sees a stale memslot generation, it will refresh the hva and generation before moving on to the hva=>pfn translation. If it then drops gpc->lock, a different user of the cache can come along, acquire gpc->lock, see that the memslot generation is fresh, and skip the hva=>pfn update due to the userspace address also matching (because it too was updated). The refresh path can already sleep during hva=>pfn resolution, so wrap the refresh with a mutex to ensure that any given refresh runs to completion before other callers can start their refresh.
