Merge fixes for missing TLB shootdowns.

This fixes a couple of cases that involved us possibly freeing page
table structures before the required TLB shootdown had been done.

There are a few cleanup patches to make the code easier to follow, and
to avoid some of the more problematic cases entirely when not necessary.

To make this easier for backports, it undoes the recent lazy TLB
patches, because the cleanups and fixes are more important, and Rik is
ok with re-doing them later when things have calmed down.

The missing TLB flush was only delayed, and the wrong ordering only
happened under memory pressure (and in theory under a couple of other
fairly theoretical situations), so this may have been all very unlikely
to have hit people in practice.

But getting the TLB shootdown wrong is _so_ hard to debug and see that I
consider this a crticial fix.

Many thanks to Jann Horn for having debugged this.
