Very inconsistent indentation between these two related functions.

Nitpick:  That comment can be condensed into one less line:

	/*
	 * The inv_end incorporates a deferred mechanism like rtnl_unlock().
	 * Adds and removes are queued until the final inv_end happens then
	 * they are progressed. This arrangement for tree updates is used to
	 * avoid using a blocking lock during invalidate_range_start.

So why is this important enough for a TODO comment, but not important
enough to do right away?

Some spaces instead of tabs here.

Odd indentation - we usuall do two tabs (my preference) or align after
the opening brace.

line > 80 chars.

Otherwise this looks good and very similar to what I reviewed earlier:
