That means soft-dirty which has used tlb_gather_mmu with fullmm could be
broken via losing write-protection bit once it supports arm64 in future?

If so, it would be better to use TASK_SIZE rather than -1 in tlb_gather_mmu.
Of course, it's a off-topic.

However, I want to add a big fat comment in tlb_gather_mmu to warn "TLB
flushing with (0, -1) can be skipped on some architectures" so upcoming
users can care of.

Thanks.
