Since uv_flush_tlb_others() implements flush_tlb_others() which is
about flushing user mappings, we should use __flush_tlb_single(),

This looks like the right thing to do. We'll be testing it and complain later if
we find any problems, but I'm not expecting any since this patch looks to
maintain our status quo.
Well, with KPTI (the-patch-set-formerly-known-as-kaiser), there will be
a distinct difference between the two.
With KPTI __flush_tlb_one() would end up invalidating all kernel
mappings while __flush_tlb_single() will end up only invalidating the
user mappings of the current mm.
Right! Now the KPTI __flush_tlb_single() equals the old
__flush_tlb_one(), less the call to count_vm_tlb_event().
