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.
