SubjectRe: [PATCH v7 07/14] KVM: Use gfn instead of hva for mmu_notifier_retry

The addressed problem is not new in this version, previous versions I
also had code to handle it (just in different way). But the problem is:
mmu_notifier/memfile_notifier may be in the progress of invalidating a
pfn that obtained earlier in the page fault handler, when happens, we
should retry the fault. In v6 I used global mmu_notifier_retry() for
memfile_notifier but that can block unrelated mmu_notifer invalidation
which has hva range specified.

Sean gave a comment at https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/6/17/1001 to separate
memfile_notifier from mmu_notifier but during the implementation I
realized we actually can reuse the same code for shared and private
memory if both using gpa range and that can simplify the code handling
in kvm_zap_gfn_range and some other code (e.g. we don't need two
versions for memfile_notifier/mmu_notifier).

Adding gpa range for private memory invalidation also relieves the
above blocking issue between private memory page fault and mmu_notifier.
