KVM: s390: vsie: optimize gmap prefix mapping



In order to not always map the prefix, we have to take care of certain
aspects that implicitly unmap the prefix:
- Changes to the prefix address
- Changes to MSO, because the HVA of the prefix is changed
- Changes of the gmap shadow (e.g. unshadowed, asce or edat changes)

By properly handling these cases, we can stop remapping the prefix when
there is no reason to do so.

This also allows us now to not acquire any gmap shadow locks when
rerunning the vsie and still having a valid gmap shadow.

Please note, to detect changing gmap shadows, we have to keep the reference
of the gmap shadow. The address of a gmap shadow does otherwise not
reliably indicate if the gmap shadow has changed (the memory chunk
could get reused).
