When guest's memory is backed by THP pages, MMU notifier needs to call
kvm_unmap_hva(), which in turn leads to kvm_handle_hva(), in a loop to
invalidate a range of pages which constitute one huge page:
for each guest page
for each memslot
if page is in memslot

When we tested KVM under memory pressure, with THP enabled on the host,

Since the invalidation was done with mmu_lock held, it not only wasted
the CPU but also made the host harder to respond.
