[PATCH 6/6] mm: proc: Avoid fullmm flush for young/dirty bit toggling

[Will Deacon]

clear_refs_write() uses the 'fullmm' API for invalidating TLBs after
updating the page-tables for the current mm. However, since the mm is not
being freed, this can result in stale TLB entries on architectures which
elide 'fullmm' invalidation.

Ensure that TLB invalidation is performed after updating soft-dirty
entries via clear_refs_write() by using the non-fullmm API to MMU gather.
