On 32-bit book3s with hash-MMUs, tlb_flush() was a no-op. This was
unnoticed because all uses until recently were for unmaps, and thus
handled by __tlb_remove_tlb_entry().

After commit 4a18419f71cd ("mm/mprotect: use mmu_gather") in kernel 5.19,
tlb_gather_mmu() started being used for mprotect as well. This caused
mprotect to simply not work on these machines:

   int *ptr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
                   MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
   *ptr = 1; // force HPTE to be created
   mprotect(ptr, 4096, PROT_READ);
   *ptr = 2; // should segfault, but succeeds

Fixed by making tlb_flush() actually flush TLB pages. This finally
agrees with the behaviour of boot3s64's tlb_flush().

You should keep the comment on 603 outside the if/else and remove the braces, in line with https://docs.kernel.org/process/coding-style.html#placing-braces-and-spaces
