Subject: [PATCH 08/12] asm-generic/tlb: Track freeing of page-table directories in struct mmu_gather

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

Some architectures require different TLB invalidation instructions
depending on whether it is only the last-level of page table being
changed, or whether there are also changes to the intermediate
(directory) entries higher up the tree.

Add a new bit to the flags bitfield in struct mmu_gather so that the
architecture code can operate accordingly if it's the intermediate
levels being invalidated.
