Split __flush_tlb_range() into __flush_tlb_range_nosync() +
__flush_tlb_range(), in the same way as the existing flush_tlb_page()
arrangement. This allows calling __flush_tlb_range_nosync() to elide the
trailing DSB. Forthcoming "contpte" code will take advantage of this
when clearing the young bit from a contiguous range of ptes.

You're now calling dsb() after 
mmu_notifier_arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs().


In flush_tlb_mm(), we have the order

	dsb(ish);	
	mmu_notifier_arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs()

In flush_tlb_page(), we have the effective order:

	mmu_notifier_arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs()
	dsb(ish);

In flush_tlb_range(), we used to have the order:

	dsb(ish);
	mmu_notifier_arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs();


So I *suspect* having that DSB before 
mmu_notifier_arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs() is fine. Hopefully, 
nothing in there relies on that placement.

Maybe wort spelling out in the patch description
