[PATCH v2 3/3] x86: Support local_flush_tlb_kernel_range

[Minchan Kim]

The zsmalloc [un]maps non-physical contiguos pages to contiguous
virual address frequently so it needs frequent tlb-flush.
Now x86 doesn't support common utility function for flushing just
a few tlb entries so zsmalloc have been used set_pte and __flush_tlb_one
which are x86 specific functions. It means zsmalloc have a dependency
with x86.

This patch adds new function, local_flush_tlb_kernel_range which
are good candidate for being common utility function because other
architecture(ex, MIPS, sh, unicore32, arm, score) already have
supportd it.
