What about skipping this patch, and instead adding five trace points

trace_tlb_flush_self(int vcpu)
trace_tlb_flush_async_schedule(int from, int to)
trace_tlb_flush_async_work(int vcpu)
trace_tlb_flush_synced_schedule(int vcpu)
trace_tlb_flush_synced_work(int vcpu)

The disadvantage is that the TLB flush counts are not emitted in "info
tcg", but the resulting information is finer-grained and the offline
accumulation of tracepoints can provide the same information.
