mm/rmap: fix potential batched TLB flush race

In theory, the following race is possible for batched TLB flushing.

  CPU0                               CPU1
  ----                               ----
  shrink_page_list()
                                     unmap
                                       zap_pte_range()
                                         flush_tlb_batched_pending()
                                           flush_tlb_mm()
    try_to_unmap()
      set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending()
        mm->tlb_flush_batched = true
                                           mm->tlb_flush_batched = false

After the TLB is flushed on CPU1 via flush_tlb_mm() and before
mm->tlb_flush_batched is set to false, some PTE is unmapped on CPU0 and
the TLB flushing is pended.  Then the pended TLB flushing will be lost.
Although both set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() and
flush_tlb_batched_pending() are called with PTL locked, different PTL
instances may be used.

Because the race window is really small, and the lost TLB flushing will
cause problem only if a TLB entry is inserted before the unmapping in
the race window, the race is only theoretical.  But the fix is simple
and cheap too.

Syzbot has reported this too as follows:
