mm, x86/mm: Make the batched unmap TLB flush API more generic
try_to_unmap_flush() used to open-code a rather x86-centric flush sequence: local_flush_tlb() + flush_tlb_others(). Rearrange the code so that the arch (only x86 for now) provides arch_tlbbatch_add_mm() and arch_tlbbatch_flush() and the core code calls those functions instead. I'll want this for x86 because, to enable address space ids, I can't support the flush_tlb_others() mode used by exising try_to_unmap_flush() implementation with good performance. I can support the new API fairly easily, though. I imagine that other architectures may be in a similar position. Architectures with strong remote flush primitives (arm64?) may have even worse performance problems with flush_tlb_others() the way that try_to_unmap_flush() uses it.
