So the good news is that with some additional self-tests I can trivially
reproduce this. The bad news is that an otherwise straight forward
cleanup seems to make CPA horribly mad at me.

And since we're somewhat late in the release cycle, I suppose we should
do the simple thing first, and then I can try and figure out this CPA
mess later.

So how about this relatively simple partial revert to sort the problem.

Subject: x86/mm/cpa: Fix cpa_flush_array() TLB invalidation

In commit:

  a7295fd53c39 ("x86/mm/cpa: Use flush_tlb_kernel_range()")

I misread the cpa array code and incorrectly used
tlb_flush_kernel_range(), resulting in missing TLB flushes and
consequent failures.

Instead do a full invalidate in this case -- for now.
