mm: allow arch to supply p??_free_tlb functions
The mmu_gather APIs keep track of the invalidated address range
including the span covered by invalidated page table pages. Ranges
covered by page tables but not ptes (and therefore no TLBs) still need
to be invalidated because some architectures (x86) can cache
intermediate page table entries, and invalidate those with normal TLB
invalidation instructions to be almost-backward-compatible.
Architectures which don't cache intermediate page table entries, or
which invalidate these caches separately from TLB invalidation, do not
require TLB invalidation range expanded over page tables.
Allow architectures to supply their own p??_free_tlb functions, which
can avoid the __tlb_adjust_range.
