When activating a gfn_to_pfn_cache, verify that the offset+length is sane
and usable before marking the cache active. Letting __kvm_gpc_refresh()
detect the problem results in a cache being marked active without setting
the GPA (or any other fields), which in turn results in KVM trying to
refresh a cache with INVALID_GPA.
Attempting to refresh a cache with INVALID_GPA isn't functionally
problematic, but it runs afoul of the sanity check that exactly one of
GPA or userspace HVA is valid, i.e. that a cache is either GPA-based or
HVA-based.
