In order to allow sleeping during invalidate_page mmu notifier calls, we
need to avoid calling when holding the PT lock. In addition to its
direct calls, invalidate_page can also be called as a substitute for a
change_pte call, in case the notifier client hasn't implemented
change_pte.
This patch drops the invalidate_page call from change_pte, and instead
wraps all calls to change_pte with invalidate_range_start and
invalidate_range_end calls.
Note that change_pte still cannot sleep after this patch, and that
clients implementing change_pte should not take action on it in case the
number of outstanding invalidate_range_start calls is larger than one,
otherwise they might miss a later invalidation.
