[PATCH 2/5] x86_64: kasan: flush tlbs after switching cr3

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Tue Jun 30 2015 - 05:00:44 EST


load_cr3() doesn't cause tlb_flush if PGE enabled.
This may cause tons of false positive reports spamming
kernel to death.
To fix this __flush_tlb_all() should be called explicitly
after cr3 changed.
