Jann reported that x86 was missing required TLB invalidates when he
hit the !*batch slow path in tlb_remove_table().

This is indeed the case; RCU_TABLE_FREE does not provide TLB (cache)
invalidates, the PowerPC-hash where this code originated and the
Sparc-hash where this was subsequently used did not need that. ARM
which later used this put an explicit TLB invalidate in their
__p*_free_tlb() functions, and PowerPC-radix followed that example.

But when we hooked up x86 we failed to consider this. Fix this by
(optionally) hooking tlb_remove_table() into the TLB invalidate code.

NOTE: s390 was also needing something like this and might now
      be able to use the generic code again.

[ Modified to be on top of Nick's cleanups, which simplified this patch
  now that tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() really only flushes the TLB - Linus ]
