clear_refs_write() uses the 'fullmm' API for invalidating TLBs after updating the page-tables for the current mm. However, since the mm is not being freed, this can result in stale TLB entries on architectures which elide 'fullmm' invalidation. Ensure that TLB invalidation is performed after updating soft-dirty entries via clear_refs_write() by using the non-fullmm API to MMU gather.
