Two more worries for this patch.

Why don't we need to use trylock here if blockable == false ?
Want comment why it is safe to use blocking lock here.

This assumes that hmm_invalidate_range_end() does not have memory
allocation dependency. But hmm_invalidate_range() from
hmm_invalidate_range_end() involves
down_read(&hmm->mirrors_sem);
list_for_each_entry(mirror, &hmm->mirrors, list)
mirror->ops->sync_cpu_device_pagetables(mirror, action,
start, end);
up_read(&hmm->mirrors_sem);
sequence. What is surprising is that there is no in-tree user who assigns
sync_cpu_device_pagetables field.

That is, this API seems to be currently used by only out-of-tree users. Since
we can't check that nobody has memory allocation dependency, I think that
hmm_invalidate_range_start() should return -EAGAIN if blockable == false for now.
