[PATCH -v4 8/9] migrate_pages: batch flushing TLB

[Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>]

The TLB flushing will cost quite some CPU cycles during the folio
migration in some situations.  For example, when migrate a folio of a
process with multiple active threads that run on multiple CPUs.  After
batching the _unmap and _move in migrate_pages(), the TLB flushing can
be batched easily with the existing TLB flush batching mechanism.
This patch implements that.

We use the following test case to test the patch.

On a 2-socket Intel server,

- Run pmbench memory accessing benchmark

- Run `migratepages` to migrate pages of pmbench between node 0 and
  node 1 back and forth.

With the patch, the TLB flushing IPI reduces 99.1% during the test and
the number of pages migrated successfully per second increases 291.7%.

NOTE: TLB flushing is batched only for normal folios, not for THP
folios.  Because the overhead of TLB flushing for THP folios is much
lower than that for normal folios (about 1/512 on x86 platform).
