[PATCH v2 13/14] mm: Only call arch_update_kernel_mappings_[begin|end]() for kernel mappings

arch_update_kernel_mappings_[begin|end]() is called from
__apply_to_page_range(), which operates both on kernel and user
mappings. Previously arch_update_kernel_mappings_[begin|end]() was
called unconditionally for both user and kernel mappings.
The existing arch implementations of arch_sync_kernel_mappings() (which
is called by the default implementation of
arch_update_kernel_mappings_end()) filter on kernel address ranges so
this change is still correct for those users. But given
"kernel_mappings" is in the function name, we really shouldn't be
calling it for user mappings. This change will also make the upcoming
arm64 implementation simpler.
