Lots of collisions here with Christoph's "decruft the vmalloc API" series
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200414131348.444715-1-hch@lst.de).

I attempted to fix things up.

unmap_kernel_range_noflush() needed to be redone.

map_kernel_range_noflush() might need the arch_sync_kernel_mappings() call?

Subject: mm/vmalloc: Track which page-table levels were modified

Track at which levels in the page-table entries were modified by
vmap/vunmap.  After the page-table has been modified, use that information
do decide whether the new arch_sync_kernel_mappings() needs to be called.
