There should be no cache left by the time we overwrite the old transhuge pmd with the new one. It's already too late to flush through the virtual address because we already copied the page data to the new physical address. So flush the cache before the data copy. Also delete the "end" variable to shutoff a "unused variable" warning on x86 where flush_cache_range() is a noop.
