Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc/32s: Don't flush all TLBs when flushing one page

When flushing any memory range, the flushing function
flushes all TLBs.

When (start) and (end - 1) are in the same memory page,
flush that page instead.

Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@....fr>

v2: Reworked the test as the previous one was always false (end - start was PAGE_SIZE - 1 for a single page)
