Mel Gorman 71b54f8263 x86/mm: Eliminate redundant page table walk during TLB range flushing
When choosing between doing an address space or ranged flush,
the x86 implementation of flush_tlb_mm_range takes into account
whether there are any large pages in the range.  A per-page
flush typically requires fewer entries than would covered by a
single large page and the check is redundant.

There is one potential exception.  THP migration flushes single
THP entries and it conceivably would benefit from flushing a
single entry instead of the mm.  However, this flush is after a
THP allocation, copy and page table update potentially with any
other threads serialised behind it.  In comparison to that, the
flush is noise.  It makes more sense to optimise balancing to
require fewer flushes than to optimise the flush itself.

This patch deletes the redundant huge page check.
