Subject: [PATCH V4 7/9] vhost: do not use RCU to synchronize MMU notifier with worker

We used to use RCU to synchronize MMU notifier with worker. This leads
calling synchronize_rcu() in invalidate_range_start(). But on a busy
system, there would be many factors that may slow down the
synchronize_rcu() which makes it unsuitable to be called in MMU
notifier.

So this patch switches use seqlock counter to track whether or not the
map was used. The counter was increased when vq try to start or finish
uses the map. This means, when it was even, we're sure there's no
readers and MMU notifier is synchronized. When it was odd, it means
there's a reader we need to wait it to be even again then we are
synchronized. Consider the read critical section is pretty small the
synchronization should be done very fast.
