3.8.13.8 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vineet Gupta <Vineet.Gupta1@synopsys.com>

commit e6c495a96ce02574e765d5140039a64c8d4e8c9e upstream.

zap_pte_range loops from @addr to @end.  In the middle, if it runs out of
batching slots, TLB entries needs to be flushed for @start to @interim,
NOT @interim to @end.

Since ARC port doesn't use page free batching I can't test it myself but
this seems like the right thing to do.

Observed this when working on a fix for the issue at thread:
