Subject: x86/mm: Use new merged flush logic in arch_tlbbatch_flush()

From: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]>

commit 3f79e4c7c9c2f5c30751ea5c8dd9fd1d56b81947 upstream.

Now there's only one copy of the local tlb flush logic for non-kernel pages on SMP kernels.

The only functional change is that arch_tlbbatch_flush() will now leave_mm() on the local CPU if that CPU is in the batch and is in TLBSTATE_LAZY mode.
