[PATCH v5 7/7] x86/tlb: add tlb_flushall_shift knob into debugfs

[Alex Shi <alex.shi@intel.com>]

kernel will replace cr3 rewrite with invlpg when
  tlb_flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_factor
if tlb_flushall_factor is -1, kernel won't do this replacement.

User can modify its value according to specific CPU/applications.

Thanks for Borislav providing the help message of
CONFIG_DEBUG_TLBFLUSH.

+	This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
+	kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
+	certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
+	tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
+	to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
+	for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
+	invalidating instructions according to the following formula:
+
+	flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift
+
+	If in doubt, say "N".
