[PATCH v2 linux-next] arch/x86/mm: sparse 'tlb_single_page_flush_ceiling' warning

[Jeremiah Mahler]

A sparse warning is generated about 'tlb_single_page_flush_ceiling'
not being declared.

  arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:177:15: warning: symbol
  'tlb_single_page_flush_ceiling' was not declared. Should it be static?

Since it isn't used anywhere outside this file, fix the warning by
making it static.

Also, optimize the use of this variable by adding the __read_mostly
directive.

Notes:
    I like the suggestion from David Rientjes, to add __read_mostly.
    Patch updated.
