Anton Ivanov 742f3c8193 um: Optimize Flush TLB for force/fork case
When UML handles a fork the page tables need to be brought up
to date. That was done using brute force - full tlb flush.

This is actually unnecessary, because the mapped-in mappings are
all correct and the only mappings which need to be updated
after a flush are any unmaps (so that paging works) as well as
any pending protection changes.

This optimization squeezes out up to 3% from a full kernel rebuild
time under memory pressure.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
