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

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

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

commit f6a70a07079518280022286a1dceb797d12e1edf upstream.

Our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation calls __tlb_flush_mm() with
&init_mm as argument. __tlb_flush_mm() however will only flush tlbs
for the passed in mm if its mm_cpumask is not empty.

For the init_mm however its mm_cpumask has never any bits set. Which in
turn means that our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation doesn't
work at all.

This can be easily verified with a vmalloc/vfree loop which allocates
a page, writes to it and then frees the page again. A crash will follow
almost instantly.

To fix this remove the cpumask_empty() check in __tlb_flush_mm() since
there shouldn't be too many mms with a zero mm_cpumask, besides the
init_mm of course.
