[PATCH v13 50/85] KVM: VMX: Hold mmu_lock until page is released when updating APIC access page

Hold mmu_lock across kvm_release_pfn_clean() when refreshing the APIC
access page address to ensure that KVM doesn't mark a page/folio as
accessed after it has been unmapped.  Practically speaking marking a folio
accesses is benign in this scenario, as KVM does hold a reference (it's
really just marking folios dirty that is problematic), but there's no
reason not to be paranoid (moving the APIC access page isn't a hot path),
and no reason to be different from other mmu_notifier-protected flows in
KVM.
