This patchset fixes some cache flushing issues if PMD sharing is possible
for hugetlb pages, which were found by code inspection. Meanwhile Mike
found the flush_cache_page() can not cover the whole size of a hugetlb
page on some architectures [1], so I added a new patch 3 to fix this
issue, since I found only try_to_unmap_one() and try_to_migrate_one() need
to fix after some investigation.

This patch (of 3):
When moving hugetlb page tables, the cache flushing is called in
move_page_tables() without considering the shared PMDs, which may be cause
cache issues on some architectures.
Thus we should move the hugetlb cache flushing into
move_hugetlb_page_tables() with considering the shared PMDs ranges,
calculated by adjust_range_if_pmd_sharing_possible(). Meanwhile also
expanding the TLBs flushing range in case of shared PMDs.
Note this is discovered via code inspection, and did not meet a real
problem in practice so far.

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.
