Subject: mm, mmu_notifier: annotate mmu notifiers with blockable invalidate callbacks fix fix

Fix mmu_notifier.h comments in "mm, mmu_notifier: annotate mmu notifiers
with blockable invalidate callbacks".

mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() can also call the invalidate_range()
callback, so it must not block for MMU_INVALIDATE_DOES_NOT_BLOCK to be
set.

Also remove a bogus comment about invalidate_range() always being called
under the ptl spinlock.
