A common use case for HMM mirror is user trying to mirror a range and before they could program the hardware it get invalidated by some core mm event. Instead of having user re-try right away to mirror the range provide a completion mechanism for them to wait for any active invalidation affecting the range. This also changes how hmm_range_snapshot() and hmm_range_fault() works by not relying on vma so that we can drop the mmap_sem when waiting and lookup the vma again on retry.

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.
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.
