commit a6f572084fbee8b30f91465f4a085d7a90901c57 upstream.

Will noted that only checking mm_users is incorrect; we should also
check mm_count in order to cover CPUs that have a lazy reference to
this mm (and could do speculative TLB operations).

If removing this turns out to be a performance issue, we can
re-instate a more complete check, but in tlb_table_flush() eliding the
call_rcu_sched().

Fixes: 267239116987 ("mm, powerpc: move the RCU page-table freeing into generic code")
