[PATCH RFC v5 16/53] KVM: guest_memfd: Use actual size for invalidation in kvm_gmem_release()

__kvm_gmem_invalidate_begin() and __kvm_gmem_invalidate_end() actually do
not specially handle -1ul. -1ul is used as a huge number, which legal
indices do not exceed, and hence the invalidation works as expected.

Since a later patch is going to make use of the exact range, calculate the
size of the guest_memfd inode and use it as the end range for invalidating
SPTEs.
