[PATCH v13 04/35] KVM: WARN if there are dangling MMU invalidations at VM destruction

Add an assertion that there are no in-progress MMU invalidations when a
VM is being destroyed, with the exception of the scenario where KVM
unregisters its MMU notifier between an .invalidate_range_start() call and
the corresponding .invalidate_range_end().
KVM can't detect unpaired calls from the mmu_notifier due to the above
exception waiver, but the assertion can detect KVM bugs, e.g. such as the
bug that *almost* escaped initial guest_memfd development.
