KVM: x86/mmu: Consider the hva in mmu_notifier retry
Track the range being invalidated by mmu_notifier and skip page fault retries if the fault address is not affected by the in-progress invalidation. Handle concurrent invalidations by finding the minimal range which includes all ranges being invalidated. Although the combined range may include unrelated addresses and cannot be shrunk as individual invalidation operations complete, it is unlikely the marginal gains of proper range tracking are worth the additional complexity. The primary benefit of this change is the reduction in the likelihood of extreme latency when handing a page fault due to another thread having been preempted while modifying host virtual addresses.
