This one is most likely harmless but best to be safe. Applied to
percpu/for-3.17-fixes.
Thanks.

If pcpu_map_pages() fails midway, it unmaps the already mapped pages.
Currently, it doesn't flush tlb after the partial unmapping. This may
be okay in most cases as the established mapping hasn't been used at
that point but it can go wrong and when it goes wrong it'd be
extremely difficult to track down.
Flush tlb after the partial unmapping.
