Subject: mm/hmm: do not erase snapshot when a range is invalidated
Users of HMM might be using the snapshot information to do preparatory
step like dma mapping pages to a device before checking for invalidation
through hmm_vma_range_done() so do not erase that information and assume
users will do the right thing.
