Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] mm/migrate_device.c: Flush TLB while holding PTL

When clearing a PTE the TLB should be flushed whilst still holding the
PTL to avoid a potential race with madvise/munmap/etc. For example
consider the following sequence:

  CPU0                          CPU1
  ----                          ----

  migrate_vma_collect_pmd()
  pte_unmap_unlock()
                                madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
                                -> zap_pte_range()
                                pte_offset_map_lock()
                                [ PTE not present, TLB not flushed ]
                                pte_unmap_unlock()
                                [ page is still accessible via stale TLB ]
  flush_tlb_range()

In this case the page may still be accessed via the stale TLB entry
after madvise returns. Fix this by flushing the TLB while holding the
PTL.
