ba6f508d0ec4 x86/mm: Drop usage of __flush_tlb_all() in
kernel_physical_mapping_init()

** No longer affects: linux

** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: intel
       Status: New => Fix Released

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released

** Description changed:

  Description:
  A new warning introduced in v4.20-rc1 is triggered by the pmem use case for 
memory hotplug:
  
  WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 998 at arch/x86/include/asm/tlbflush.h:460
  __flush_tlb_all+0x1b/0x3a
  
  The fix is to drop those __flush_tlb_all calls, but requests to
  strengthen the safety of kernel_physical_mapping_init to give confidence
  that it is safe to remove those calls is thus far leading to boot hangs.
