CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC uses change_page_attr to map/unmap mappings for catching stray kernel mappings. But standard c_p_a() does a lot of unnecessary work for this simple case with pre-split mappings.
Change kernel_map_pages to just access the page table directly which is simpler and faster. I also fixed it to use INVLPG if available. This is required for changes to c_p_a() later that make it use kmalloc. Without this we would risk infinite recursion. Also in general things are easier when sleeping is allowed.
