Log:
  In pmap_set_pte(), make sure to enforce ordering by inserting a memory
  fence. Under system load, the CPU has been found to change the order
  by which the stores are made visible. When the tag is made visible
  before the other TLB values, other CPUs may use the invalid TLB values
  and do bad things.
  
  While here (i.e. not a fix) don't return errors from pmap_remove_vhpt()
  to callers of pmap_remove_pte(). Those callers don't check the return
  value and as such don't do what is needed to keep a consistent state.
  More importantly, pmap_remove_vhpt() can't really have an error without
  it indicating something unintended. Using KASSERT is therefore better.
