mmu_notifiers: rename invalidate_range notifier
There are two main use cases for mmu notifiers. One is by KVM which uses
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()/end() to manage a software TLB.
The other is to manage hardware TLBs which need to use the
invalidate_range() callback because HW can establish new TLB entries at
any time. Hence using start/end() can lead to memory corruption as these
callbacks happen too soon/late during page unmap.
mmu notifier users should therefore either use the start()/end() callbacks
or the invalidate_range() callbacks. To make this usage clearer rename
the invalidate_range() callback to arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs() and
update documention.
