I don't think that's correct. IIRC, commit f270ab88fdf2 ("arm64: tlb:
Adjust stride and type of TLBI according to mmu_gather") explicitly
added the !last_level check to invalidate the walk cache (correspondence
between the VA and the page table page rather than the full VA->PA
translation).

The optimisation here was added about a year later in commit
7a30df49f63a ("mm: mmu_gather: remove __tlb_reset_range() for force
flush"). Do we still need to keep freed_tables = 1 here? I'd say only
__tlb_reset_range().
