maintainercover Fixes on top of the TLB fix in x86/urgent
I redid the TLB fix to resolve Boris' comments, and then Ingo applied the old version :-/
Here are my fixes respun on top of the version in -tip. If they pass muster (they're quite straightforward), can one of you get them to Linus?
(If you disagree with Boris, then skip patch 3.)

maintainerPATCH 2/3 x86/mm: Tidy up "x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB mode"
In reply to Andy LutomirskiDue to timezones, commit b956575bed91 ("x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB mode") is an outdated patch that didn't address Borislav's comments. Tidy it up:
- The name "tlb_use_lazy_mode" was highly confusing. Change it to "tlb_defer_switch_to_init_mm", which describes what it acutally means.
- Move the static_branch crap into a helper.
- Improve comments.
Actually removing the debugfs option is in the next patch.

Due to timezones, commit:
b956575bed91 ("x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB mode")
was an outdated patch that well tested and fixed the bug but didn't address Borislav's review comments.
Tidy it up:
- The name "tlb_use_lazy_mode()" was highly confusing. Change it to "tlb_defer_switch_to_init_mm()", which describes what it actually means.
- Move the static_branch crap into a helper.
- Improve comments.
