mm: thp: Use more portable PMD clearing sequenece in zap_huge_pmd().
Invalidation sequences are handled in various ways on various
architectures.
One way, which sparc64 uses, is to let the set_*_at() functions accumulate
pending flushes into a per-cpu array. Then the flush_tlb_range() et al.
calls process the pending TLB flushes.
In this regime, the __tlb_remove_*tlb_entry() implementations are
essentially NOPs.
The canonical PTE zap in mm/memory.c is:
ptent = ptep_get_and_clear_full(mm, addr, pte,
tlb->fullmm);
tlb_remove_tlb_entry(tlb, pte, addr);
With a subsequent tlb_flush_mmu() if needed.
Mirror this in the THP PMD zapping using:
orig_pmd = pmdp_get_and_clear(tlb->mm, addr, pmd);
page = pmd_page(orig_pmd);
tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entry(tlb, pmd, addr);
And we properly accomodate TLB flush mechanims like the one described
above.
