KVM: Rename invalidate_begin to invalidate_start for consistency
Rename kvm_mmu_invalidate_begin() to kvm_mmu_invalidate_start() to align with mmu_notifier_ops.invalidate_range_start(), which is the callback that ultimately drives KVM's MMU invalidation. While the naming within KVM itself is a close split between "_begin" and "_start": $ git grep -E "invalidate(_range)?_begin" **/kvm* | wc -l 12 $ git grep -E "invalidate(_range)?_start" **/kvm* | wc -l 21 All two of the begin() uses are in KVM: $ git grep -E "invalidate(_range)?_begin" * | wc -l 14 And those two holdouts are bugs in invalidate_range_start()'s comment, i.e. will also be fixed sooner or later[*]. On the other hand, use of _start() is pervasive throughout the kernel: $ git grep -E "invalidate(_range)?_start" * | wc -l 117 Even if that weren't the case, conforming to the mmu_notifier_ops naming is the right call since invalidate_range_start() is the external API that KVM hooks into. No functional change intended.
