Move flush_tlb_info variables off the stack. This allows to align flush_tlb_info to cache-line and avoid potentially unnecessary cache line movements. It also allows to have a fixed virtual-to-physical translation of the variables, which reduces TLB misses. Use per-CPU struct for flush_tlb_mm_range() and flush_tlb_kernel_range(). Add debug assertions to ensure there are no nested TLB flushes that might overwrite the per-CPU data. For arch_tlbbatch_flush() use a const struct.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
