  af2c1401 ("mm: numa: guarantee that tlb_flush_pending updates are visible before page table updates")

added smp_mb__before_spinlock() to set_tlb_flush_pending(). I think we
can solve the same problem without this barrier.

If instead we mandate that mm_tlb_flush_pending() is used while
holding the PTL we're guaranteed to observe prior
set_tlb_flush_pending() instances.

For this to work we need to rework migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()
a little and move the test up into do_huge_pmd_numa_page().

NOTE: this relies on flush_tlb_range() to guarantee:

   (1) it ensures that prior page table updates are visible to the
       page table walker and
   (2) it ensures that subsequent memory accesses are only made
       visible after the invalidation has completed

This is required for architectures that implement TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
(arc, arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, sparc, x86) or otherwise use
mm_tlb_flush_pending() in their page-table operations (arm, arm64,
x86).

This appears true for:

 - arm (DSB ISB before and after),
 - arm64 (DSB ISHST before, and DSB ISH after),
 - powerpc (PTESYNC before and after),
 - s390 and x86 TLB invalidate are serializing instructions

But I failed to understand the situation for:

 - arc, mips, sparc

Now SPARC64 is a wee bit special in that flush_tlb_range() is a no-op
and it flushes the TLBs using arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode()
inside the PTL. It still needs to guarantee the PTL unlock happens
_after_ the invalidate completes.

Vineet, Ralf and Dave could you guys please have a look?
