4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra <pet...@infradead.org>
commit a6f572084fbee8b30f91465f4a085d7a90901c57 upstream.
Will noted that only checking mm_users is incorrect; we should also
check mm_count in order to cover CPUs that have a lazy reference to
this mm (and could do speculative TLB operations).
If removing this turns out to be a performance issue, we can
re-instate a more complete check, but in tlb_table_flush() eliding the
call_rcu_sched().
Fixes: 267239116987 ("mm, powerpc: move the RCU page-table freeing into generic
code")
