[PATCH mk-II 08/17] asm-generic/tlb: Provide MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE

[Peter Zijlstra]

As described in the comment, the correct order for freeing pages is:

 1) unhook page
 2) TLB invalidate page
 3) free page

This order equally applies to page directories.

Currently there are two correct options:

 - use tlb_remove_page(), when all page directores are full pages and
   there are no futher contraints placed by things like software
   walkers (HAVE_FAST_GUP).

 - use MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE and tlb_remove_table() when the
   architecture does not do IPI based TLB invalidate and has
   HAVE_FAST_GUP (or software TLB fill).

This however leaves architectures that don't have page based
directories but don't need RCU in a bind. For those, provide
MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE, which provides the independent batching for
directories without the additional RCU freeing.
