[PATCH v3 6/8] KVM: Fully serialize gfn=>pfn cache refresh via mutex

[Sean Christopherson]

Protect gfn=>pfn cache refresh with a mutex to fully serialize refreshes.
The refresh logic doesn't protect against concurrent refreshes with
different GPAs (which may or may not be a desired use case, but it's
allowed in the code), nor does it protect against 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.
