Subject: [PATCH] arm64/hugetlb: Drop TLB flush from get_clear_flush()

This drops now redundant TLB flush in get_clear_flush() which is no longer
required after recent commit 697a1d44af8b ("tlb: hugetlb: Add more sizes to
tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry"). It also renames this function i.e dropping off
'_flush' and replacing it with '__contig' as appropriate.
