Duh, that's just me being daft again. For some raisin I was convinced
(and failed to check) that we only had the vma at start.

I can easily respin this to not need the extra variable.

How's this then?

Subject: mmu_gather: Force tlb-flush VM_PFNMAP vmas
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Jann reported a race between munmap() and unmap_mapping_range(), where
unmap_mapping_range() will no-op once unmap_vmas() has unlinked the
VMA; however munmap() will not yet have invalidated the TLBs.

Therefore unmap_mapping_range() will complete while there are still
(stale) TLB entries for the specified range.

Mitigate this by force flushing TLBs for VM_PFNMAP ranges.
