Hmm, *forcing* architectures to take mmu_lock is a step backwards.  Rather than
add all of this churn, what about adding CONFIG_KVM_MMU_NOTIFIER_LOCKLESS, e.g.

static __always_inline int kvm_handle_hva_range_no_flush(struct mmu_notifier *mn,
							 unsigned long start,
							 unsigned long end,
							 gfn_handler_t handler)
{
	struct kvm *kvm = mmu_notifier_to_kvm(mn);
	const struct kvm_mmu_notifier_range range = {
		.start		= start,
		.end		= end,
		.handler	= handler,
		.on_lock	= (void *)kvm_null_fn,
		.flush_on_ret	= false,
		.may_block	= false,
		.lockless	= IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM_MMU_NOTIFIER_LOCKLESS),
	};

	return __kvm_handle_hva_range(kvm, &range).ret;
}
