At the moment we have to rather sub-optimal flushing behaviours:
- flush_tlb_mm() will flush the PWC which is unnecessary (for example
when doing a fork)
- A large unmap will call flush_tlb_pwc() multiple times causing us
to perform that fairly expensive operation repeatedly. This happens
often in batches of 3 on every new process.
So we change flush_tlb_mm() to only flush the TLB, and we use the
existing "need_flush_all" flag in struct mmu_gather to indicate
that the PWC needs flushing.
Unfortunately, flush_tlb_range() still needs to do a full flush
for now as it's used by the THP collapsing. We will fix that later.
