arm64: Invalidate the TLB corresponding to intermediate page table levels
The ARM architecture allows the caching of intermediate page table levels and page table freeing requires a sequence like: pmd_clear() TLB invalidation pte page freeing With commit 5e5f6dc1 (arm64: mm: enable HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE logic), the page table freeing batching was moved from tlb_remove_page() to tlb_remove_table(). The former takes care of TLB invalidation as this is also shared with pte clearing and page cache page freeing. The latter, however, does not invalidate the TLBs for intermediate page table levels as it probably relies on the architecture code to do it if required. When the mm->mm_users < 2, tlb_remove_table() does not do any batching and page table pages are freed before tlb_finish_mmu() which performs the actual TLB invalidation. This patch introduces __tlb_flush_pgtable() for arm64 and calls it from the {pte,pmd,pud}_free_tlb() directly without relying on deferred page table freeing.
