This is wrong there should be a big FAT warning that this can only be use
against mmap of device file. The page table walking above is broken for
various thing you might find in any other vma like THP, device pte, hugetlbfs,
...

Also the mmu notifier can not be call from the pfn callback as that callback
happens under page table lock (the change_pte notifier callback is useless
and not enough). So it _must_ happen around the call to apply_to_pfn_range

apply_to_page_range was really not meant to be use in that way ... it was not
for regular vma.

Using this function for anything else is dangerous and having its uses spread
more increase that risk. So there must be a big FAT warning saying that you
should not use this lightly and that it should only be only on mmap of device
file.

It would be good to improve that comment too and make it a warning of
DO NOT USE ! THIS IS NOT SAFE ON REGULAR VMA !
