Subject: arch/x86/platform/uv: fix incorrect tlb flush all issue
The flush tlb optimization code has logical issue on UV platform. It
doesn't flush the full range at all, since it simply ignores its 'end'
parameter (and hence also the "all" indicator) in uv_flush_tlb_others()
function.
Cliff's notes:
: I tested the patch on a UV. It has the effect of either clearing 1 or all
: TLBs in a cpu. I added some debugging to test for the cases when clearing
: all TLBs is overkill, and in practice it happens very seldom.
