x86/mm: Reimplement flush_tlb_page() using flush_tlb_mm_range()
flush_tlb_page() was very similar to flush_tlb_mm_range() except that
it had a couple of issues:
- It was missing an smp_mb() in the case where
current->active_mm != mm. (This is a longstanding bug reported by Nadav Amit)
- It was missing tracepoints and vm counter updates.
The only reason that I can see for keeping it at as a separate
function is that it could avoid a few branches that
flush_tlb_mm_range() needs to decide to flush just one page. This
hardly seems worthwhile. If we decide we want to get rid of those
branches again, a better way would be to introduce an
__flush_tlb_mm_range() helper and make both flush_tlb_page() and
flush_tlb_mm_range() use it.
