Haggai Eran 6bdb913f0a mm: wrap calls to set_pte_at_notify with invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end
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.
