Rework the gfn=>pfn cache (gpc) refresh logic to address multiple races
between the cache itself, and between the cache and mmu_notifier events.
The existing refresh code attempts to guard against races with the
mmu_notifier by speculatively marking the cache valid, and then marking
it invalid if a mmu_notifier invalidation occurs. That handles the case
where an invalidation occurs between dropping and re-acquiring gpc->lock,
but it doesn't handle the scenario where the cache is refreshed after the
cache was invalidated by the notifier, but before the notifier elevates
mmu_notifier_count. The gpc refresh can't use the "retry" helper as its
invalidation occurs _before_ mmu_notifier_count is elevated and before
mmu_notifier_range_start is set/updated.

Key off of mn_active_invalidate_count to detect that a pfncache refresh
needs to wait for an in-progress mmu_notifier invalidation. While
mn_active_invalidate_count is not guaranteed to be stable, it is
guaranteed to be elevated prior to an invalidation acquiring gpc->lock,
so either the refresh will see an active invalidation and wait, or the
invalidation will run after the refresh completes.
Speculatively marking the cache valid is itself flawed, as a concurrent
kvm_gfn_to_pfn_cache_check() would see a valid cache with stale pfn/khva
values. The KVM Xen use case explicitly allows/wants multiple users;
even though the caches are allocated per vCPU, __kvm_xen_has_interrupt()
can read a different vCPU (or vCPUs). Address this race by invalidating
the cache prior to dropping gpc->lock (this is made possible by fixing
the above mmu_notifier race).
Complicating all of this is the fact that both the hva=>pfn resolution
and mapping of the kernel address can sleep, i.e. must be done outside
of gpc->lock.
Fix the above races in one fell swoop, trying to fix each individual race
is largely pointless and essentially impossible to test, e.g. closing one
hole just shifts the focus to the other hole.
