5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khandual at arm.com>
[ Upstream commit ff4c5a0de1f2ef7737a8688a86e19301e567020d ]
Commit 48478b9f7913 ("arm64/mm: Enable batched TLB flush in
unmap_hotplug_range") inadvertently introduced redundant TLB
invalidation when clearing a block entry, resulting in unnecessary
broadcast invalidation on CPUs without support for range-based
invalidation.
Re-introduce the old behaviour, along with some expanded comments to
help people working in this area next time around.
