Correct, that one is wrong for it results in IPIs that we don't want or
need.

So flush_tlb_mm_range() has an 'mm == loaded_mm' case, which does a
local flush. I *think* we're not hitting that because switch_mm() does a
write to loaded_mm() just before this.

But I don't think we want to proliferate the logic contained in
flush_tlb_mm_range() further than we have to.

So my preference goes to 2, as that seems to be the safest option.
Notably text_poke() it not concerned with performance much.
