mmu_gather: Force tlb-flush VM_PFNMAP vmas

Jann reported a race between munmap() and unmap_mapping_range(), where unmap_mapping_range() will no-op once unmap_vmas() has unlinked the VMA; however munmap() will not yet have invalidated the TLBs. Therefore unmap_mapping_range() will complete while there are still (stale) TLB entries for the specified range. Mitigate this by force flushing TLBs for VM_PFNMAP ranges.
