This works, does break-before-make and also rejects vmalloc() ranges
(for the time being).

One particular aspect I don't like is doing the TLBI twice. It's
sufficient to do it when you first make the pte invalid. We could guess
this in __change_memory_common() if set_mask has PTE_VALID. The call
sites are restricted to this file, just add a comment. An alternative
would be to add a bool flush argument to this function.
