When changing a kernel page from RO->RW, it's OK to leave stale TLB entries around, since doing a global flush is expensive and they pose no security problem. They can, however, generate a spurious fault, which we should catch and simply return from (which will have the side-effect of reloading the TLB to the current PTE). This can occur when running under Xen, because it frequently changes kernel pages from RW->RO->RW to implement Xen's pagetable semantics. It could also occur when using CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since it avoids doing a global TLB flush after changing page permissions.
