Not quite, your __p*_free_tlb() goes to pgtable_free_tlb() which call
tlb_remove_table().

96bc9567cbe1 ("asm-generic/tlb, arch: Invert CONFIG_HAVE_RCU_TABLE_INVALIDATE")

And no. Since you have TABLE_NO_INVALIDATE set, tlb_remove_table() will
not TLBI when it fails to allocate a batch page, which is an error for
PPC-Radix.

There is also no TLBI when the batch page is full and the RCU callback
happens, which is also a bug on PPC-Radix.
