Re: [PATCH 2/4] mm: rmap: Allow platforms without mm_cpumask to defer TLB flush

From: Barry Song <redacted>

Platforms like ARM64 have hareware TLB shootdown broadcast. They
don't maintain mm_cpumask and they just send tlbi and related
sync instructions for TLB flush.
So if mm_cpumask is empty, we also allow deferred TLB flush
