Subject: [PATCH 12/16] KVM: Do not partially reinitialize gfn=>pfn cache during activation

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@...gle.com>

Don't partially reinitialize a gfn=>pfn cache when activating the cache,
and instead assert that the cache is not valid during activation.  Bug
the VM if the assertion fails, as use-after-free and/or data corruption
is all but guaranteed if KVM ends up with a valid-but-inactive cache.
