I don’t think that the notifier should be called after the PTE is set, but
after the PTE is cleared, PTE permissions are demoted (e.g., RW->RO) or
access/dirty bits are cleared. [There is an exception: if the PFN in the PTE
is changed without clearing the PTE before, but it does not apply here, and
there is a different notifier for this case.]

Therefore, IIUC, try_to_umap_one() should only call
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() after ptep_get_and_clear() and
ptep_clear_flush() are called. All the other calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() in this function can be removed.
