Revert "x86/mm/64: Do not sync vmalloc/ioremap mappings"
This reverts commit 8bb9bf242d1fee925636353807c511d54fde8986.
It seems the vmalloc page tables aren't always preallocated in all
situations, because Jason Donenfeld reports an oops with this commit:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffe8ffffd00608
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
PGD 0 P4D 0

and that page fault address is right in that vmalloc space, and we
clearly don't have a PGD/P4D entry for it.
Looking at the "Code:" line, the actual fault seems to come from the
'pwq->wq' dereference at the top of the process_one_work() function:
struct pool_workqueue *pwq = get_work_pwq(work);
struct worker_pool *pool = worker->pool;
bool cpu_intensive = pwq->wq->flags & WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE;
so 'struct pool_workqueue *pwq' is the allocation that hasn't been
synchronized across CPUs.
Just revert for now, while Joerg figures out the cause.
