ARC: [mm] optimize needless full mm TLB flush on munmap

Browse source 
munmap ends up calling tlb_flush() which for ARC was flushing the entire
TLB unconditionally (by moving the MMU to a new ASID)

do_munmap
  unmap_region
    unmap_vmas
      unmap_single_vma
         unmap_page_range
            tlb_start_vma
            zap_pud_range
            tlb_end_vma()
  tlb_finish_mmu
    tlb_flush()  ---> unconditional flush_tlb_mm()

So even a single page munmap, a frequent operation when uClibc dynamic
linker (ldso) is loading the dependent shared libraries, would move the
the ASID multiple times - needlessly invalidating the pre-faulted TLB
entries (and increasing the rate of ASID wraparound + full TLB flush).

This is now optimised to only be called if tlb->full_mm (which means
for exit/execve) cases only. And for those cases, flush_tlb_mm() is
already optimised to be a no-op for mm->mm_users == 0.

So essentially there are no mmore full mm flushes - except for fork which
anyhow needs it for properly COW'ing parent address space.

munmap now needs to do TLB range flush, which is implemented with
tlb_end_vma()

Results
-------
1. ASID now consistenly moves by 4 during a simple ls (as opposed to 5 or
   7 before).

2. LMBench microbenchmark also shows improvements

* This pair is called at time of munmap/exit to flush cache and TLB entries

* 1) cache-flush part -implemented via tlb_start_vma( ) can be NOP (for now)

* 2) tlb-flush part - implemted via tlb_end_vma( ) can be NOP as well-
