Subject: 6.2-rc7 fails building on Talos II: memory.c:(.text+0x2e14):
 undefined reference to `hash__tlb_flush'

Just noticed a build failure on 6.2-rc7 for my Talos 2 (.config attached):

As 6.2-rc6 was good on this machine I did a quick bisect which revealed this commit:

 # git bisect bad
1665c027afb225882a5a0b014c45e84290b826c2 is the first bad commit

    powerpc/64s: Reconnect tlb_flush() to hash__tlb_flush()
    
    Commit baf1ed24b27d ("powerpc/mm: Remove empty hash__ functions")
    removed some empty hash MMU flushing routines, but got a bit overeager
    and also removed the call to hash__tlb_flush() from tlb_flush().
    
    In regular use this doesn't lead to any noticable breakage, which is a
    little concerning. Presumably there are flushes happening via other
    paths such as arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(), and/or a bit of luck.
    
    Fix it by reinstating the call to hash__tlb_flush().
