mm/mmu_notifier: avoid call to invalidate_range() in range_end()
This is an optimization patch that only affect mmu_notifier users which rely on the invalidate_range() callback. This patch avoids calling that callback twice in a row from inside __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end Existing pattern (before this patch): mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() pte/pmd/pud_clear_flush_notify() mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() New pattern (after this patch): mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() pte/pmd/pud_clear_flush_notify() mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_only_end() We call the invalidate_range callback after clearing the page table under the page table lock and we skip the call to invalidate_range inside the __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() function.
