flush_tlb_range() needs ->page_table_lock when ->mmap_sem is not held
All other callers already hold either ->mmap_sem (exclusive) or ->page_table_lock. And we need it because some page table flushing instanced do work explicitly with ge tables. See e.g. arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_hash32.c, flush_tlb_range() and flush_range() in there. The same goes for uml, with a lot more extensive playing with page tables. Almost all callers are actually fine - flush_tlb_range() may have no need to bother playing with page tables, but it can do so safely; again, this caller is the sole exception - everything else either has exclusive ->mmap_sem on the mm in question, or mm->page_table_lock is held.
