migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page() calls flush_cache_page() before
replacing an existing huge zero PMD.  However, the third argument to
flush_cache_page() is a PFN, while addr + HPAGE_PMD_SIZE is an end virtual
address.

More importantly, the mapping being invalidated is PMD-sized rather than
PAGE_SIZE-sized.  Flush the whole PMD range with flush_cache_range(),
matching other huge PMD invalidation paths.

There is no userspace-visible effect today.  The architectures that
currently enable ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION use no-op implementations of
flush_cache_page()/flush_cache_range().  32-bit ARM has non-trivial
implementations, but does not enable ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION.

So this appears to be a latent API misuse rather than a currently
observable bug, and I don't think a stable backport is necessary.
