Instead can we do

static inline void tlb_table_invalidate(struct mmu_gather *tlb)
{
#ifndef CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE
* Invalidate page-table caches used by hardware walkers. Then we still
* need to RCU-sched wait while freeing the pages because software
* walkers can still be in-flight.
*/
tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly(tlb);
#endif
}
