flush_tlb_single() and flush_tlb_one() sound almost identical, but
they really mean "flush one user translation" and "flush one kernel
translation".  Rename them to flush_tlb_one_user() and
flush_tlb_one_kernel() to make the semantics more obvious.

[ I was looking at some PTI-related code, and the flush-one-address code
  is unnecessarily hard to understand because the names of the helpers are
  uninformative.  This came up during PTI review, but no one got around to
  doing it. ]
