If we're with unconditionally ptep_clear_flush(), does it mean we should
probably drop the "unmapped" and the last flush_tlb_range() already since
they'll be redundant?

If that'll need to be dropped, it looks indeed better to still keep the
batch to me but just move it earlier (before unlock iiuc then it'll be
safe), then we can keep using ptep_get_and_clear() afaiu but keep "pte"
updated.

Thanks,
