mmu_interval_notifier_insert() can't be called safely from inside the
invalidate() callback because it can acquire the mmap_sem lock which
might already be held. Insertion might be needed when the invalidate()
callback creates a "hole" in the interval being tracked (i.e., the event
type MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP) and the interval needs to be split in order to
continue receiving callbacks for the remaining left and right intervals.
Add a new function mmu_interval_notifier_insert_safe() which can be called
from the invalidate() callback.
