In KVM guests with Hyper-V hypercalls enabled, the hypercalls
HVCALL_FLUSH_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_LIST and HVCALL_FLUSH_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_LIST_EX
allow a guest to request invalidation of portions of a virtual TLB.
For this, the hypercall parameter includes a list of GVAs that are supposed
to be invalidated.

However, when non-canonical GVAs are passed, there is currently no
filtering in place and they are eventually passed to checked invocations of
INVVPID on Intel / INVLPGA on AMD.
While the AMD variant (INVLPGA) will silently ignore the non-canonical
address and perform a no-op, the Intel variant (INVVPID) will fail and end
up in invvpid_error, where a WARN_ONCE is triggered:

Applied to kvm-x86 fixes, with a massaged changelog, e.g. to call out that
"real" Hyper-V behaves this way.  Thanks!

Thanks for the quick approval and Vitaly for the Hyper-V testing!
