The generic tlb_end_vma does not call invalidate_range mmu notifier,
and it resets resets the mmu_gather range, which means the notifier
won't be called on part of the range in case of an unmap that spans
multiple vmas.

ARM64 seems to be the only arch I could see that has notifiers and
uses the generic tlb_end_vma. I have not actually tested it.

This patch breaks riscv builds in mainline.
Looks very similar to the breakage we hit on arm64. diff below should fix
it.
Unfortunately it doesn't.

Sorry, I was a bit quick of the mark there. You'll need a forward
declaration for the paramater type. Here it is with a commit message,
although still untested because I haven't got round to setting up a riscv
toolchain yet.
