Subject: x86/vm86/32: Switch to flush_tlb_mm_range() in mark_screen_rdonly()
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9ccee2373f0658f234727700e619df097ba57023 upstream.
mark_screen_rdonly() is the last remaining caller of flush_tlb().
flush_tlb_mm_range() is potentially faster and isn't obsolete.
Compile-tested only because I don't know whether software that uses
this mechanism even exists.
