The end goal of this series is to optimize the MMU notifiers to take
mmu_lock if and only if the notification is relevant to KVM, i.e. the hva
range overlaps a memslot.   Large VMs (hundreds of vCPUs) are very
sensitive to mmu_lock being taken for write at inopportune times, and
such VMs also tend to be "static", e.g. backed by HugeTLB with minimal
page shenanigans.  The vast majority of notifications for these VMs will
be spurious (for KVM), and eliding mmu_lock for spurious notifications
avoids an otherwise unacceptable disruption to the guest.

To get there without potentially degrading performance, e.g. due to
multiple memslot lookups, especially on non-x86 where the use cases are
largely unknown (from my perspective), first consolidate the MMU notifier
logic by moving the hva->gfn lookups into common KVM.

Based on kvm/queue, commit 5f986f748438 ("KVM: x86: dump_vmcs should
include the autoload/autostore MSR lists").

Well tested on Intel and AMD.  Compile tested for arm64, MIPS, PPC,
PPC e500, and s390.  Absolutely needs to be tested for real on non-x86,
I give it even odds that I introduced an off-by-one bug somewhere.

v2:
 - Drop the patches that have already been pushed to kvm/queue.
 - Drop two selftest changes that had snuck in via "git commit -a".
 - Add a patch to assert that mmu_notifier_count is elevated when
   .change_pte() runs. [Paolo]
 - Split out moving KVM_MMU_(UN)LOCK() to __kvm_handle_hva_range() to a
   separate patch.  Opted not to squash it with the introduction of the
   common hva walkers (patch 02), as that prevented sharing code between
   the old and new APIs. [Paolo]
 - Tweak the comment in kvm_vm_destroy() above the smashing of the new
   slots lock. [Paolo]
 - Make mmu_notifier_slots_lock unconditional to avoid #ifdefs. [Paolo]
