[RFC PATCH 7/9] kvm_main.c: duplicate invalid memslot also in inactive list

In preparation for atomic memslot updates, make sure the
invalid memslot is also replacing the old one in the inactive list.

This implies that once we want to insert the new slot for a MOVE,
or simply delete the existing one for a DELETE,
we need to remove the "invalid" slot, not the "old" one.
