[PATCH] mm,do_huge_pmd_numa_page: remove unnecessary TLB flushing code

[Huang Ying]

Before the commit c5b5a3dd2c1f ("mm: thp: refactor NUMA fault
handling"), the TLB flushing is done in do_huge_pmd_numa_page() itself
via flush_tlb_range().

But after commit c5b5a3dd2c1f ("mm: thp: refactor NUMA fault
handling"), the TLB flushing is done in migrate_pages() as in the
following code path anyway.

do_huge_pmd_numa_page
  migrate_misplaced_page
    migrate_pages

So now, the TLB flushing code in do_huge_pmd_numa_page() becomes
unnecessary.  So the code is deleted in this patch to simplify the
code.  This is only code cleanup, there's no visible performance
difference.
