As a further enhancement, I wonder if it might be better to test:

	pages * 4 / MAX_TLBI_RANGE_PAGES > MAX_DVM_OPS

Then add an extra loop over __flush_tlb_range_op(), like KVM does.

The math is trying to express that there are a maximum of 4 tlbi range
instructions for MAX_TLBI_RANGE_PAGES pages (1 per scale) and we only need to
fall back to flushing the whole mm if it could generate more than MAX_DVM_OPS ops.
