Currently, local and remote TLB flushes are not performed concurrently,
which introduces unnecessary overhead - each INVLPG can take 100s of
cycles. This patch-set allows TLB flushes to be run concurrently: first
request the remote CPUs to initiate the flush, then run it locally, and
finally wait for the remote CPUs to finish their work.

In addition, there are various small optimizations to avoid unwarranted
false-sharing and atomic operations.

The proposed changes should also improve the performance of other
invocations of on_each_cpu(). Hopefully, no one has relied on this
behavior of on_each_cpu() that invoked functions first remotely and only
then locally [Peter says he remembers someone might do so, but without
further information it is hard to know how to address it].

Running sysbench on dax w/emulated-pmem, write-cache disabled, and
various mitigations (PTI, Spectre, MDS) disabled on Haswell:

 sysbench fileio --file-total-size=3G --file-test-mode=rndwr \
  --file-io-mode=mmap --threads=4 --file-fsync-mode=fdatasync run

			events (avg/stddev)
			-------------------
  5.2-rc3:		1247669.0000/16075.39
  +patchset:		1290607.0000/13617.56 (+3.4%)

Patch 1 does small cleanup. Patches 2-5 implement the concurrent
execution of TLB flushes. Patches 6-9 deal with false-sharing and
unnecessary atomic operations. There is still no implementation that
uses the concurrent TLB flushes by Xen and Hyper-V. 

There are various additional possible optimizations that were sent or
are in development (async flushes, x2apic shorthands, fewer mm_tlb_gen
accesses, etc.), but based on Andy's feedback, they will be sent later.

RFCv2 -> v1:
* Fix comment on flush_tlb_multi [Juergen]
* Removing async invalidation optimizations [Andy]
* Adding KVM support [Paolo]
