mm,thp: khugepaged: call pte flush at the time of collapse This showed up on ARC when running LMBench bw_mem tests as Overlapping TLB Machine Check Exception triggered due to STLB entry (2M pages) overlapping some NTLB entry (regular 8K page). bw_mem 2m touches a large chunk of vaddr creating NTLB entries. In the interim khugepaged kicks in, collapsing the contiguous ptes into a single pmd. pmdp_collapse_flush()->flush_pmd_tlb_range() is called to flush out NTLB entries for the ptes. This for ARC (by design) can only shootdown STLB entries (for pmd). The stray NTLB entries cause the overlap with the subsequent STLB entry for collapsed page. So make pmdp_collapse_flush() call pte flush interface not pmd flush. Note that originally all thp flush call sites in generic code called flush_tlb_range() leaving it to architecture to implement the flush for pte and/or pmd. Commit 12ebc1581ad11454 changed this by calling a new opt-in API flush_pmd_tlb_range() which made the semantics more explicit but failed to distinguish the pte vs pmd flush in generic code, which is what this patch fixes. Note that ARC can fixed w/o touching the generic pmdp_collapse_flush() by defining a ARC version, but that defeats the purpose of generic version, plus sementically this is the right thing to do.
