Subject[patch 3/6] mmu_notifier: invalidate_page callbacks for subsystems with rmap
Callbacks to remove individual pages if the subsystem has an
rmap capability. The pagelock is held but no spinlocks are held.
The refcount of the page is elevated so that dropping the refcount
in the subsystem will not directly free the page.

The callbacks occur after the Linux rmaps have been walked.
