Subject: [PATCH 3/7] x86: mm: fix missed global TLB flush stat


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

If we take the

	if (end == TLB_FLUSH_ALL || vmflag & VM_HUGETLB) {
		local_flush_tlb();
		goto out;
	}

path out of flush_tlb_mm_range(), we will have flushed the tlb,
but not incremented NR_TLB_LOCAL_FLUSH_ALL.  This unifies the
way out of the function so that we always take a single path when
doing a full tlb flush.
