The invalidate_lock is only needed to operate on the guest_memfd, but
it's a rwsem so there are no risks of lock inversion.

I don't understand why TDH.MEM.PAGE.ADD() cannot be called from the
post-populate hook. Can the code for TDH.MEM.PAGE.ADD be shared
between the memory initialization ioctl and the page fault hook in
kvm_x86_ops?
