I am not sure how we are getting away with this, but the mm stats are
copied before we enter this loop, so I'm surprised that we aren't
getting complaints about the VMAs that are later than the failure.  I
don't think this needs to be fixed, it's just odd and it existed before
this change as well.

FYI, This missing vma_iter_set() in v3 was not caught by your testing
because it would not cause an issue, just avoid the optimisation in the
gathering of page tables.

I really don't like having to modify unmap_region() and free_pgtables()
for a rare error case.  Looking into the issue, you are correct in the
rounding that is happening in free_pgd_range() and this alignment to
avoid "unnecessary work" is causing us issues.  However, if we open code
it a lot like what exit_mmap() does, we can avoid changing these
functions:

+       lru_add_drain();
+       tlb_gather_mmu(&tlb, mm);
+       update_hiwater_rss(mm);
+       unmap_vmas(&tlb, &vmi.mas, vma, 0, tree_end, tree_end, true);
+       vma_iter_set(&vmi, vma->vm_end);
+       free_pgtables(&tlb, &vmi.mas, vma, FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, vma_end->vm_start,
+                     true);
+       free_pgd_range(&tlb, vma->vm_start, vma_end->vm_start,
+                      FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, USER_PGTABLES_CEILING);
+       tlb_finish_mmu(&tlb);

Effectively, we do unmap_region() on our own with an extra
free_pgd_range() call with the necessary range adjustment.

We have to add the tlb to this function as well, but it avoids adding
identical arguments to all other callers.

I have tested (something like) this with your provided test and it does
not provide errors on failures.

What do you think?
