[PATCH v2 1/5] mm: add tlb_flush_mmu_free_batches

[Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com>]

There are two places doing page free related to struct mmu_gather_batch:
1 in tlb_flush_mmu_free, where pages gathered in mmu_gather_batch list
  are freed;
2 in tlb_flush_mmu_finish, where pages for the mmu_gather_batch
  structure(let's call it the batch page) are freed.

There will be yet another place in the parallel free worker thread
introduced in the following patch to free both the pages pointed to by
the mmu_gather_batch list and the batch pages themselves. To avoid code
duplication, add a new function named tlb_flush_mmu_free_batches for
this purpose.

Another reason to add this function is that after the following patch,
cond_resched will need to be added at places where more than 10K pages
can be freed, i.e. in tlb_flush_mmu_free and the worker function.
Instead of adding cond_resched at multiple places, using a single
function to reduce code duplication.

There should be no functionality change.
