May I know why KVM now needs to register to callback .change_pte()?
As also commented in kvm_mmu_notifier_change_pte(), .change_pte() must be
surrounded by .invalidate_range_{start,end}().

While kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() has called kvm_unmap_gfn_range()
to zap all leaf SPTEs, and page fault path will not install new SPTEs
successfully before kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(),
kvm_set_spte_gfn() should not be able to find any shadow present leaf entries to
update PFN.

Or could we just delete completely
"kvm_handle_hva_range(mn, address, address + 1, pte, kvm_set_spte_gfn);"
from kvm_mmu_notifier_change_pte() ?
