Subject: [PATCH 4.14 076/109] mm/thp: fix call to mmu_notifier in set_pmd_migration_entry() v2

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@...hat.com>

commit bfba8e5cf28f413aa05571af493871d74438979f upstream.

Inside set_pmd_migration_entry() we are holding page table locks and thus
we can not sleep so we can not call invalidate_range_start/end()

So remove call to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end() because they
are call inside the function calling set_pmd_migration_entry() (see
try_to_unmap_one()).
