Instead of checking mixed flag in disallow_lpage, could we check disallow_lpage
directly?

So, if mixed flag is not set but disallow_lpage is 1, there's no need to update
the invalidate range.

if ((end + nr_pages > range->end) &&
    ((end + nr_pages) <= (slot->base_gfn + slot->npages)) &&
    !lpage_info_slot(gfn, slot, level)->disallow_lpage)
