CPU 1				CPU 2					CPU 3

mremap(old_addr, new_addr)      page_shrinker/try_to_unmap_one

mmap_write_lock_killable()

				addr = old_addr
				lock(pte_ptl)
lock(pud_ptl)
pud = *old_pud
pud_clear(old_pud)
flush_tlb_range(old_addr)

*new_pud = pud
									*new_addr = 10; and fills
									TLB with new addr
									and old pfn

unlock(pud_ptl)
				ptep_clear_flush()
				old pfn is free.
									Stale TLB entry

Fix this race by holding pud lock in pageout.
