As noticed by Xiao, since soft-dirty clear command modifies page tables we
have to flush tlbs and call mmu notifiers. While the former is done by
the clear_refs engine itself, the latter is to be done.
One thing to note about this -- in order not to call per-page invalidate
notifier (_all_ address space is about to be changed), the
_invalidate_range_start and _end are used. But for those start and end
are not known exactly. To address this, the same trick as in exit_mmap()
is used -- start is 0 and end is (unsigned long)-1.
