Excellent point!

One solution that I can think of is, if the code triggers the
WARN_ON(), we flush the entire VM's TLB using
kvm_call_hyp(__kvm_tlb_flush_vmid) after the entire walk is finished.
In this special/rare situation, it'll be a little expensive, but we
will at least be correct, leaving no stale TLBs behind. WDYT?
Thank you.
