Subject: [PATCH 4.9 15/75] x86/mm: Remove flush_tlb() and flush_tlb_current_task()

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

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

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org>

commit 29961b59a51f8c6838a26a45e871a7ed6771809b upstream.

I was trying to figure out what how flush_tlb_current_task() would
possibly work correctly if current->mm != current->active_mm, but I
realized I could spare myself the effort: it has no callers except
the unused flush_tlb() macro.
