Subject: x86/paravirt: Dont patch flush_tlb_single

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>


commit a035795499ca1c2bd1928808d1a156eda1420383 upstream

native_flush_tlb_single() will be changed with the upcoming
PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION feature. This requires to have more code in
there than INVLPG.

Remove the paravirt patching for it.
