mmu_notifier_unregister() can race between a invalidate_start/end and cause the invalidate_end to be skipped. This causes an imbalance in the locking, which lockdep complains about. This is not actually a bug, as we immediately kfree the memory holding the lock, but it simple enough to fix. Mark when the notifier is being destroyed and abort the start callback. This can be done under the lock we already obtained, and can re-purpose the invalidate_range test we already have.

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.
