Subject: mm: hugetlb: considering PMD sharing when flushing cache/TLBs

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.
