Commit 7e2175ebd695 ("KVM: x86: Fix recording of guest steal time / preempted status", 2021-11-11) open coded the previous call to kvm_map_gfn, but in doing so it dropped the comparison between the cached guest physical address and the one in the MSR. This cause an incorrect cache hit if the guest modifies the steal time address while the memslots remain the same. This can happen with kexec, in which case the steal time data is written at the address used by the old kernel instead of the old one.
While at it, rename the variable from gfn to gpa since it is a plain physical address and not a right-shifted one.

The kernel you built with this in passes Dave Young's kexec set I was using to debug it, so:
