kaiser: asm/tlbflush.h handle noPGE at lower level
I found asm/tlbflush.h too twisty, and think it safer not to avoid __native_flush_tlb_global_irq_disabled() in the kaiser_enabled case, but instead let it handle kaiser_enabled along with cr3: it can just use __native_flush_tlb() for that, no harm in re-disabling preemption. (This is not the same change as Kirill and Dave have suggested for upstream, flipping PGE in cr4: that's neat, but needs a cpu_has_pge check; cr3 is enough for kaiser, and thought to be cheaper than cr4.) Also delete the X86_FEATURE_INVPCID invpcid_flush_all_nonglobals() preference from __native_flush_tlb(): unlike the invpcid_flush_all() preference in __native_flush_tlb_global(), it's not seen in upstream 4.14, and was recently reported to be surprisingly slow.
