While the split is good for review, since this function uses the same
name we will need to combine 1-3 to avoid a bisection build error.



-		on_each_cpu_mask(ipi_flush_tlb_page, &ta, 1, mm_cpumask(vma->vm_mm));
+		on_each_cpu_mask(mm_cpumask(vma->vm_mm), ipi_flush_tlb_page,
+			&ta, 1);

Since you are only rearranging the arguments and not adding any
characters, my first thought would be just leave the line long.
However, looking at the 80 column wrap I see how "mm));" is more
clearly wrapped text vs ", 1);".

My suggestion is to create a local var to shorten the line, probably 
struct mm_struct *mm, but a cpumask_var_t would also work.

Overall a minor point, I'm ok if this doesn't happen.
