Cover letter [PATCH v2 0/2] x86/mm/64: vmalloc pgd synchronization cleanups/fixes

Hi all-

Patch 1 is a regression fix and should go to linus and -stable. (Not necessarily x86/pti. It's needed in 4.14, but if anyone backports real PTI earlier than 4.14, this patch will *not* be needed. The regression doesn't really have anything to do with PTI.)

Patch 2 should probably go to normal -tip or even just wait for Konstantin's ack.
