mm: migrate: fix barriers around tlb_flush_pending 

Reading tlb_flush_pending while the page-table lock is taken does not
require a barrier, since the lock/unlock already acts as a barrier.
Removing the barrier in mm_tlb_flush_pending() to address this issue.

However, migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() calls mm_tlb_flush_pending()
while the page-table lock is already released, which may present a
problem on architectures with weak memory model (PPC).  To deal with
this case, a new parameter is added to mm_tlb_flush_pending() to
indicate if it is read without the page-table lock taken, and calling
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() in this case.
