Fix breakage caused by tlb flush batch changes

BenH's commit a741e67969577163a4cfc78d7fd2753219087ef1 in powerpc.git,
although (AFAICT) only intended to affect ppc64, also has side-effects
which break 44x.  I think 40x, 8xx and Freescale Book E are also
affected, though I haven't tested them.

The problem lies in unconditionally removing flush_tlb_pending() from
the versions of flush_tlb_mm(), flush_tlb_range() and
flush_tlb_kernel_range() used on ppc64 - which are also used the
embedded platforms mentioned above.

The patch below restores the necessary flushes and fixes the breakage
for 44x.  They should also fix any breakage for the other platforms,
but again I haven't tested those.
