[PATCH 1/2] KVM: fix cache stale memslot info with correct mmio generation number

[Xiao Guangrong]

We may cache the current mmio generation number and stale memslot info
into spte, like this scenarioï

       CPU 0                                  CPU 1
page fault:                                add a new memslot
read memslot and detecting its a mmio access
                                           update memslots
                                           update generation number
read generation number
cache the gpa and current gen number into spte

So, if guest accesses the gpa later, it will generate a incorrect
mmio exit

This patch fixes it by updating the generation number after
synchronize_srcu_expedited() that makes sure the generation
number updated only if memslots update is finished
