You've had two examples on how to write this loop, one from git commit
204ec841fbea3e5138168edbc3a76d46747cc987, and one from my draft, but
this one looks like neither and is much less efficient. Take the lock
only once per pmd, not once per pte please.

I think you want to pass start, end here too, you might not need to
sweep the whole vma.
