mm: proc: Invalidate TLB after clearing soft-dirty page state
Since commit 0758cd83 ("asm-generic/tlb: avoid potential double flush"), TLB invalidation is elided in tlb_finish_mmu() if no entries were batched via the tlb_remove_*() functions. Consequently, the page-table modifications performed by clear_refs_write() in response to a write to /proc/<pid>/clear_refs do not perform TLB invalidation. Although this is fine when simply aging the ptes, in the case of clearing the "soft-dirty" state we can end up with entries where pte_write() is false, yet a writable mapping remains in the TLB. Fix this by avoiding the mmu_gather API altogether: managing both the 'tlb_flush_pending' flag on the 'mm_struct' and explicit TLB invalidation for the sort-dirty path, much like mprotect() does already.
