mm/mmu_notifiers: ensure range_end() is paired with range_start()
If one or more notifiers fails .invalidate_range_start(), invoke .invalidate_range_end() for "all" notifiers. If there are multiple notifiers, those that did not fail are expecting _start() and _end() to be paired, e.g. KVM's mmu_notifier_count would become imbalanced. Disallow notifiers that can fail _start() from implementing _end() so that it's unnecessary to either track which notifiers rejected _start(), or had already succeeded prior to a failed _start(). Note, the existing behavior of calling _start() on all notifiers even after a previous notifier failed _start() was an unintented "feature". Make it canon now that the behavior is depended on for correctness. As of today, the bug is likely benign: 1. The only caller of the non-blocking notifier is OOM kill. 2. The only notifiers that can fail _start() are the i915 and Nouveau drivers. 3. The only notifiers that utilize _end() are the SGI UV GRU driver and KVM. 4. The GRU driver will never coincide with the i195/Nouveau drivers. 5. An imbalanced kvm->mmu_notifier_count only causes soft lockup in the _guest_, and the guest is already doomed due to being an OOM victim. Fix the bug now to play nice with future usage, e.g. KVM has a potential use case for blocking memslot updates in KVM while an invalidation is in-progress, and failure to unblock would result in said updates being blocked indefinitely and hanging. Found by inspection. Verified by adding a second notifier in KVM that periodically returns -EAGAIN on non-blockable ranges, triggering OOM, and observing that KVM exits with an elevated notifier count.
