[Alexander Gordeev]

Hi All,

I have no means to test the patch, it only passes a compile check.

Thanks!

[PATCH 1/1] powerpc/64s: Do not re-activate batched TLB flush

[Alexander Gordeev]

Since commit b9ef323ea168 ("powerpc/64s: Disable preemption in
hash lazy mmu mode") a task can not be preempted while inside
arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode(). Therefore, the batch re-activation
code is never gets called, so remove it.
