x86, mm: Patch out arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() when running on bare metal
commit 511ba86e1d386f671084b5d0e6f110bb30b8eeb2 upstream.
Invoking arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() results in calls to
preempt_enable()/disable() which may have performance impact.
Since lazy MMU is not used on bare metal we can patch away
arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() so that it is never called in such
environment.
[ hpa: the previous patch "Fix vmalloc_fault oops during lazy MMU
updates" may cause a minor performance regression on
bare metal. This patch resolves that performance regression. It is
somewhat unclear to me if this is a good -stable candidate. ]
