KVM: guest_memfd: Pass the number of pages instead of the end pfn into .invalidate()

Browse source

Pass the number of pages to "invalidate", i.e. reclaim, instead of the end
pfn, as a first step towards aligning the function prototypes between the
de facto "to private" and "to shared" arch hooks.  Eventually, the goal
is to end up with kvm_gmem_arch_make_{private,shared}(), and in both cases,
providing the number of pages makes the call sites slightly nicer, and also
avoids any confusion over whether the end pfn is inclusive or exclusive.

Opportunistically rename "start" to "pfn", again to align with the expected
signature of make_private() (which needs to pass a starting gfn as well, at
which point the "start" becomes noise).

No functional change intended.
