commit 96bc9567cbe112e9320250f01b9c060c882e8619 upstream.
Make issuing a TLB invalidate for page-table pages the normal case.
The reason is twofold:
- too many invalidates is safer than too few,
- most architectures use the linux page-tables natively
and would thus require this.
Make it an opt-out, instead of an opt-in.
No change in behavior intended.
