Do not subscribe ARCH_WANT_BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH based on NR_CPUS ?
That might not help much as the default value is 256 for NR_CPUS.

OR

arch_tlbbatch_should_defer() checks on

1. online cpus			(dont enable batched TLB if <= X)
2. ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI (dont enable batched TLB)

If should_defer_flush() evaluate to be false, then ptep_clear_flush()
clears and flushes the entry right away. This should not race with other
queued up TLBI requests, which will be flushed separately. Wondering how
there can be a race here !
