Subject: x86/mm: Use new merged flush logic in arch_tlbbatch_flush()
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 3f79e4c7c9c2f5c30751ea5c8dd9fd1d56b81947 upstream.
Now there's only one copy of the local tlb flush logic for
non-kernel pages on SMP kernels.
The only functional change is that arch_tlbbatch_flush() will now
leave_mm() on the local CPU if that CPU is in the batch and is in
TLBSTATE_LAZY mode.
