Looking at that commit, and the backtrace of the lockup, I think that
reverting it is the correct thing to do.

You can't take the page lock in invalidate_range(), since it's called
from try_to_unmap(), which is called with the page lock already held.

So commit aa56a292ce62 is just fundamentally completely wrong and
should be reverted.
