From: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@xxxxxxxxxx>
In an effort to minimize amount of TLB flushes, batch all PMD splits
belonging to a range of pages in order to perform only 1 (global) TLB
flush.
Add a flags field to the walker and pass whether it's a bulk allocation
or just a single page to decide to remap. First value
(VMEMMAP_SPLIT_NO_TLB_FLUSH) designates the request to not do the TLB
flush when we split the PMD.

This is unlikely to be failed since the page table allocation
is moved to the above (Note that the head vmemmap page allocation
is not mandatory). So we should handle the error case in the above
splitting operation.
Thanks.
