x86/mm/tlb: Avoid reading mm_tlb_gen when possible
On extreme TLB shootdown storms, the mm's tlb_gen cacheline is highly
contended and reading it should (arguably) be avoided as much as
possible.
Currently, flush_tlb_func() reads the mm's tlb_gen unconditionally,
even when it is not necessary (e.g., the mm was already switched).
This is wasteful.
Moreover, one of the existing optimizations is to read mm's tlb_gen to
see if there are additional in-flight TLB invalidations and flush the
entire TLB in such a case. However, if the request's tlb_gen was already
flushed, the benefit of checking the mm's tlb_gen is likely to be offset
by the overhead of the check itself.
Running will-it-scale with tlb_flush1_threads show a considerable
benefit on 56-core Skylake (up to +24%):
