Alan Cox afeed44dc5 Invalidate the mapping before updating its physical address.
Doing so ensures that all threads sharing the pmap have a consistent
view of the mapping.  This fixes the problem described in the commit
log message for r329254 without the overhead of an extra page fault
in the common case.  (Now that all pmap_enter() implementations are
similarly modified, the workaround added in r329254 can be removed,
reducing the overhead of COW faults.)

With this change we can reuse the PV entry from the old mapping,
potentially avoiding a call to reclaim_pv_chunk().  Otherwise, there is
nothing preventing the old PV entry from being reclaimed.  In rare
cases this could result in the PTE's page table page being freed,
leading to a use-after-free of the page when the updated PTE is written
following the allocation of the PV entry for the new mapping.
