Are all mappings invalidated after this point?

The goal of the removal notification is to invalidate all DAX mappings
that are no pointing to pfns that do not exist anymore, so just syncing
does not seem like enough, and the shutdown is skipped above. What am I
missing?

Notice that kill_dev_dax() does unmap_mapping_range() after invalidating
the dax device and that ensures that all existing mappings are gone and
cannot be re-established. As far as I can see a process with an existing
dax mapping will still be able to use it after this runs, no?
