x86/mm: Refactor flush_tlb_mm_range() to merge local and remote cases
The local flush path is very similar to the remote flush path.
Merge them.
This is intended to make no difference to behavior whatsoever. It
removes some code and will make future changes to the flushing
mechanics simpler.
This patch does remove one small optimization: flush_tlb_mm_range()
now has an unconditional smp_mb() instead of using MOV to CR3 or
INVLPG as a full barrier when applicable. I think this is okay for
a few reasons. First, smp_mb() is quite cheap compared to the cost
of a TLB flush. Second, this rearrangement makes a bigger
optimization available: with some work on the SMP function call
code, we could do the local and remote flushes in parallel. Third,
I'm planning a rework of the TLB flush algorithm that will require
an atomic operation at the beginning of each flush, and that
operation will replace the smp_mb().
