on_unlock is called after unlocking mmu_lock. So kvm::mmu_invalidate_in_progress
is touched out side of it.  Here is a quick fix.

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: guest_memfd(): protect kvm_mmu_invalidate_end()

kvm_mmu_invalidate_end() updates struct kvm::mmu_invalidate_in_progress
and it's protected by kvm::mmu_lock.  call kvm_mmu_invalidate_end() before
unlocking it. Not after the unlock.

Fixes: edd048ffeaf6 ("KVM: Introduce per-page memory attributes")
