We could use some hints here for the tlb_level (2 for pmd, 1 for pud).
Regarding the last_level argument to __flush_tlb_range(), I think it
needs to stay false since this function is also called on the
hugetlb_unshare_pmds() path where the pud is cleared and needs
invalidating.

That said, maybe you can rewrite it as a switch statement and call
flush_pmd_tlb_range() or flush_pud_tlb_range() (just make sure these are
defined when CONFIG_HUGETLBFS is enabled).
