Subject: [PATCH V4 1/6] mm: delete unnecessary TTU_* flags

Johannes pointed out TTU_LZFREE is unnecessary. It's true because we
always have the flag set if we want to do an unmap. For cases we don't
do an unmap, the TTU_LZFREE part of code should never run.

Also the TTU_UNMAP is unnecessary. If no other flags set (for
example, TTU_MIGRATION), an unmap is implied.
