mm,unmap: avoid flushing TLB in batch if PTE is inaccessible

Browse Source 
0Day/LKP reported a performance regression for commit 7e12beb8ca
("migrate_pages: batch flushing TLB").  In the commit, the TLB flushing
during page migration is batched.  So, in try_to_migrate_one(),
ptep_clear_flush() is replaced with set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending().  In
further investigation, it is found that the TLB flushing can be avoided in
ptep_clear_flush() if the PTE is inaccessible.  In fact, we can optimize
in similar way for the batched TLB flushing too to improve the
performance.

So in this patch, we check pte_accessible() before
set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() in try_to_unmap/migrate_one().  Tests show
that the benchmark score of the anon-cow-rand-mt test case of
vm-scalability test suite can improve up to 2.1% with the patch on a Intel
server machine.  The TLB flushing IPI can reduce up to 44.3%.
