Currently x86 uses CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE when using
paravirt, and not when running on bare metal.
There is no real good reason to do things differently for
each setup. Make them all the same.
After this change, the synchronization between get_user_pages_fast
and page table freeing is handled by RCU, which prevents page tables
from being reused for other data while get_user_pages_fast is walking
them.
This allows us to invalidate page tables while other CPUs have
interrupts disabled.
