[PATCH 2/3] arm64, mm: Use flush_tlb_all_local() in flush_context().

[David Daney <ddaney.cavm@gmail.com>]

From: David Daney <david.daney@cavium.com>

When CONFIG_SMP, we end up calling flush_context() on each CPU
(indirectly) from __new_context().  Because of this, doing a broadcast
TLB invalidate is overkill, as all CPUs will be doing a local
invalidation.

Change the scope of the TLB invalidation operation to be local,
resulting in nr_cpus invalidations, rather than nr_cpus^2.

On CPUs with a large ASID space this operation is not often done.
But, when it is, this reduces the overhead.

Benchmarked "time make -j48" kernel build with and without the patch on
Cavium ThunderX system, one run to warm up the caches, and then five
runs measured:

original      with-patch
139.299s      139.0766s
S.D. 0.321    S.D. 0.159

Probably a little faster, but could be measurement noise.
