free_ldt_pgtables() uses the MMU gather API for batching TLB flushes
over the call to free_pgd_range(). However, tlb_gather_mmu() expects
to operate on user addresses and so passing LDT_{BASE,END}_ADDR will
confuse the range setting logic in __tlb_adjust_range(), causing the
gather to identify a range starting at TASK_SIZE. Such a large range
will be converted into a 'fullmm' flush by the low-level invalidation
code, so change the caller to invoke tlb_gather_mmu_fullmm() directly.
