To reduce scheduling latecy by changing tlb flush size to 1.
Since tlb flush on Celleb is done by calling (an) expensive hypervisor call(s),
it takes a long time to flush tlbs and causes scheduing latency.
As I don't know how long it takes on other platforms, it would be better to
enclose it within #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_CELLEB.
