Fix callers that previously skipped calling arch_sync_kernel_mappings()
if an error occurred during a pgtable update. The call is still required
to sync any pgtable updates that may have occurred prior to hitting the
error condition.

These are theoretical bugs discovered during code review.

Hi All,

This patch was originally tacked onto the series at [1]. But things have changed
a bit and this is no longer a dependency. So I've decoupled it and now prefer
this to go via mm.

Thanks,
Ryan
