Subject: [RFC PATCH v7 15/16] xpfo, mm: Fix hang when booting with "xpfotlbflush"
Kernel hangs when booted up with "xpfotlbflush" option. This is caused
by xpfo_kunmap() fliushing TLB while holding xpfo lock starving other
tasks waiting for the lock. This patch moves tlb flush outside of the
code holding xpfo lock.
