Subject: [ 37/52] KVM: mmu_notifier: Flush TLBs before releasing mmu_lock

3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Takuya Yoshikawa <yoshikawa.takuya@....ntt.co.jp>

(cherry picked from commit 565f3be2174611f364405bbea2d86e153c2e7e78)

Other threads may process the same page in that small window and skip
TLB flush and then return before these functions do flush.
