There are two main use cases for mmu notifiers. One is by KVM which uses mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()/end() to manage a software TLB. The other is to manage hardware TLBs which need to use the invalidate_range() callback because HW can establish new TLB entries at any time. Hence using start/end() can lead to memory corruption as these callbacks happen too soon/late during page unmap. mmu notifier users should therefore either use the start()/end() callbacks or the invalidate_range() callbacks. To make this usage clearer rename the invalidate_range() callback to arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs() and update documention.
