Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm/tlb: Skip tracing when flush is not done

From: Nadav Amit <namit@...are.com>

Currently, if flush_tlb_func() does not flush for some reason, the
tracing of the flush will be done only in certain cases, depending on
the reason of the flush. Be consistent and just do not trace in all
cases when the flush was eventually not done.
