Jann Horn points out that our TLB flushing was subtly wrong for the mremap() case. What makes mremap() special is that we don't follow the usual "add page to list of pages to be freed, then flush tlb, and then free pages". No, mremap() obviously just _moves_ the page from one page table location to another. That matters, because mremap() thus doesn't directly control the lifetime of the moved page with a freelist: instead, the lifetime of the page is controlled by the page table locking, that serializes access to the entry. As a result, we need to flush the TLB not just before releasing the lock for the source location (to avoid any concurrent accesses to the entry), but also before we release the destination page table lock (to avoid the TLB being flushed after somebody else has already done something to that page). This also makes the whole "need_flush" logic unnecessary, since we now always end up flushing the TLB for every valid entry.
