[POWERPC] Fix possible access to free pages
I think we have a subtle race on ppc64 with the tlb batching. The common code expects tlb_flush() to actually flush any pending TLB batch. It does that because it delays all page freeing until after tlb_flush() is called, in order to ensure no stale reference to those pages exist in any TLB, thus causing potential access to the freed pages. However, our tlb_flush only triggers the RCU for freeing page table pages, it does not currently trigger a flush of a pending TLB/hash batch, which is, I think, an error. This fixes it.
