Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86 tlb: fix tracepoint nr_pages calculation


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

We calculate nr_pages with f->flush_end and f->flush_start, both
of which are virtual addresses.  However, we only divide
f->flush_start by PAGE_SIZE, and missed f->flush_end.  This patch
adds some parenthesis to catch f->flush_end as well.

nr_pages is only used for a trace point.  This should not have
any functional impact other than keeping the trace point from
spitting out garbage for the flush length.
