[PATCH v1 1/3] mm/powerpc/book3s64/radix: Remove unused code.

mm_tlb_flush_nested change was added in the mmu gather tlb flush to handle
the case of parallel pte invalidate happening with mmap_sem held in read
mode. This fix was done by commit: 02390f66bd23 ("powerpc/64s/radix: Fix
MADV_[FREE|DONTNEED] TLB flush miss problem with THP") and the problem is
explained in detail in commit: 99baac21e458 ("mm: fix MADV_[FREE|DONTNEED] TLB
flush miss problem")

This was later updated by commit: 7a30df49f63a ("mm: mmu_gather: remove
__tlb_reset_range() for force flush") to do a full mm flush rather than
a range flush. By commit: dd2283f2605e ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem
in munmap") we are also now allowing a page table free in mmap_sem read mode
which means we should do a PWC flush too. Our current full mm flush imply
a PWC flush.

With all the above change the mm_tlb_flush_nested(mm) branch in radix__tlb_flush
will never be taken because for the nested case we would have taken the
if (tlb->fullmm) branch. This patch removes the unused code. Also, remove the
gflush change in __radix__flush_tlb_range that was added to handle the range tlb
flush code. We only check for THP there because hugetlb is flushed via a
different code path where page size is explicitly specified

This is a partial revert of commit: 02390f66bd23 ("powerpc/64s/radix: Fix
MADV_[FREE|DONTNEED] TLB flush miss problem with THP")
