Subject: KVM: do not bias the generation number in kvm_current_mmio_generation

commit 00f034a12fdd81210d58116326d92780aac5c238 upstream.

The next patch will give a meaning (a la seqcount) to the low bit of the
generation number.  Ensure that it matches between kvm->memslots->generation
and kvm_current_mmio_generation().
