KVM: pfncache: check the need for invalidation under read lock first

When processing mmu_notifier invalidations for gpc caches, pre-check for
overlap with the invalidation event while holding gpc->lock for read, and
only take gpc->lock for write if the cache needs to be invalidated.  Doing
a pre-check without taking gpc->lock for write avoids unnecessarily
contending the lock for unrelated invalidations, which is very beneficial
for caches that are heavily used (but rarely subjected to mmu_notifier
invalidations).
