The test driver uses an xa_array to store virtual to physical address
translations for a simulated hardware device. The MMU notifier
invalidation callback is used to keep the table consistent with the CPU
page table and is frequently called only for a page or two. However, if
the test process exits unexpectedly or is killed, the range can be
[0..ULONG_MAX] in which case calling xa_erase() for every possible PFN
results in CPU timeouts. Munmap() can result in a large range being
invalidated but in that case, the xa_array is likely to contain entries
that need to be invalidated.
Check for [0..ULONG_MAX] explicitly and just destroy the whole table.

This patch is based on Jason Gunthorpe's hmm tree and should be folded
into the ("mm/hmm/test: add selftest driver for HMM") patch once this
patch is reviewed, etc.
