Wait a second. This is not correct, right? You have to call the
notifiers after page_vma_mapped_walk_done because they might be
sleepable and we are still holding the pte lock. This is btw. a problem
for other users of mmu_notifier_invalidate_range in try_to_unmap_one,
unless I am terribly confused. This would suggest 369ea8242c0fb is
incorrect.
