[ Upstream commit 1160c2779b826c6f5c08e5cc542de58fd1f667d5 ]

In paravirtualized x86_64 kernels, vmalloc_fault may cause an oops
when lazy MMU updates are enabled, because set_pgd effects are being
deferred.

One instance of this problem is during process mm cleanup with memory
cgroups enabled. The chain of events is as follows:

- zap_pte_range enables lazy MMU updates
- zap_pte_range eventually calls mem_cgroup_charge_statistics,
which accesses the vmalloc'd mem_cgroup per-cpu stat area
- vmalloc_fault is triggered which tries to sync the corresponding
PGD entry with set_pgd, but the update is deferred
- vmalloc_fault oopses due to a mismatch in the PUD entries

The OOPs usually looks as so:

Calling arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode immediately after set_pgd makes the
changes visible to the consistency checks.
