mmu_alloc_direct_roots() is called when vcpu->arch.mmu->root.hpa is INVALID_PAGE
in kvm_mmu_reload(), which could happen after direct root is invalidated.

Could we add a validity check of mirror_root_hpa to prevent an incorrect ref
count increment of the mirror root?

+       if (mirror) {
+               if (mmu->mirror_root_hpa != INVALID_PAGE)
+                       return;

                role.is_mirror = true;
+       }
