Oh yeah, we even have a comment about that in
idmap_kpti_install_ng_mappings(). Maybe we should wrap disable_mmu and
enable_mmu in some macros so we don't have to trip over this every time (and
this would mean we could get rid of pre_disable_mmu_workaround too).

It's fragile enough that we should just do the invalidation.
