[Zhenyu Ye]

ChangeList:
v3:
use vma->vm_flags to replace mm->context.flags.

v2:
build the patch on Marc's NV series[1].

v1:
add support for TTL field in arm64.

--
ARMv8.4-TTL provides the TTL field in tlbi instruction to indicate
the level of translation table walk holding the leaf entry for the
address that is being invalidated. Hardware can use this information
to determine if there was a risk of splintering.

Marc has provided basic support for ARM64-TTL features on his
NV series[1] patches. NV is a large feature, however, only
patches 62[2] and 67[3] are need by this patch set. 
** You only need read those two patches before review this patch. **

Some of this patch depends on a feature powered by @Will Deacon
two years ago, which tracking the level of page tables in mm_gather.
See more in commit a6d60245.
