Patch series "mmu_notifiers follow ups".
Tetsuo has noticed some fallouts from 93065ac753e4 ("mm, oom: distinguish
blockable mode for mmu notifiers"). One of them has been fixed and picked
up by AMD/DRM maintainer [1]. XEN issue is fixed by patch 1. I have also
clarified expectations about blockable semantic of invalidate_range_end.
Finally the last patch removes MMU_INVALIDATE_DOES_NOT_BLOCK which is no
longer used nor needed.

This patch (of 3):
93065ac753e4 ("mm, oom: distinguish blockable mode for mmu notifiers") has
introduced blockable parameter to all mmu_notifiers and the notifier has
to back off when called in !blockable case and it could block down the
road.
The above commit implemented that for mn_invl_range_start but both
in_range checks are done unconditionally regardless of the blockable mode
and as such they would fail all the time for regular calls. Fix this by
checking blockable parameter as well.
Once we are there we can remove the stale TODO. The lock has to be
sleepable because we wait for completion down in gnttab_unmap_refs_sync.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
