With huge-page ioremap areas the unmappings also need to be
synced between all page-tables. Otherwise it can cause data
corruption when a region is unmapped and later re-used.

Make the vmalloc_sync_one() function ready to sync
unmappings.

It took me a while to understand what this is doing. Can we please have a
comment here?
