The flush_tlb_range() of riscv is a little bit strange to me. It gives
__sbi_tlb_flush_range() stride PAGE_SIZE. That means if (end - start)
is larger than stride, it will trigger flush_tlb_all().

So this change could trigger flush_tlb_all() while original
flush_tlb_page() just trigger flush_tlb_page().

My understanding is flush_tlb_page() should be better because 
flush_pmd_tlb_range() has PMD_SIZE as stride to avoid flush_tlb_all().
I must miss something here.
