The vhost_set_vring_num_addr() could be called in the middle of
invalidate_range_start() and invalidate_range_end(). If we don't reset
invalidate_count after the un-registering of MMU notifier, the
invalidate_cont will run out of sync (e.g never reach zero). This will
in fact disable the fast accessor path. Fixing by reset the count to
zero.

Correct me if I was wrong. I think it's point 4 described in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/21/25.
I'm not sure what that is talking about

But this fixes what I described:
