[PATCH v2] powerpc/mm: convert tlbie to tlbiel when no batch is active

[PATCH v2] powerpc/mm: convert tlbie to tlbiel when no batch is active

[Balbir Singh]

Do the checks that __flush_tlb_pending() does and check if
a local flush will do when batch->active is false inside of
hpte_need_flush(). I've checked the changes with tlbie tracing,
I see local flushes as applicable now and I've also run
some basic ltp testcases on top of these changes on a powernv
machine.
