Subject: [PATCH V5 4/9] vhost: reset invalidate_count in vhost_set_vring_num_addr()

The vhost_set_vring_num_addr() could be called in the middle of
invalidate_range_start() and invalidate_range_end(). If we don't reset
invalidate_count after the un-registering of MMU notifier, the
invalidate_cont will run out of sync (e.g never reach zero). This will
in fact disable the fast accessor path. Fixing by reset the count to
zero.

Reported-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@...hat.com>
Fixes: 7f466032dc9e ("vhost: access vq metadata through kernel virtual address")
