Subject: [RFC PATCH 09/16] mm/memory: split non-tlb flushing part from zap_page_range_single()

Some of zap_page_range_single() callers such as [process_]madvise() with
MADV_DONEED[_LOCKED] cannot batch tlb flushes because
zap_page_range_single() does tlb flushing for each invocation.  Split
out core part of zap_page_range_single() except mmu_gather object
initialization and gathered tlb entries flushing part for such batched
tlb flushing usage.
