3.16.62-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra peterz@infradead.org
commit a6f572084fbee8b30f91465f4a085d7a90901c57 upstream.
Will noted that only checking mm_users is incorrect; we should also check mm_count in order to cover CPUs that have a lazy reference to this mm (and could do speculative TLB operations).
If removing this turns out to be a performance issue, we can re-instate a more complete check, but in tlb_table_flush() eliding the call_rcu_sched().
