Benjamin Herrenschmidt 6ad8d010b2 [POWERPC] Fix possible access to free pages
I think we have a subtle race on ppc64 with the tlb batching.  The
common code expects tlb_flush() to actually flush any pending TLB
batch.  It does that because it delays all page freeing until after
tlb_flush() is called, in order to ensure no stale reference to
those pages exist in any TLB, thus causing potential access to
the freed pages.

However, our tlb_flush only triggers the RCU for freeing page
table pages, it does not currently trigger a flush of a pending
TLB/hash batch, which is, I think, an error.  This fixes it.
