Subject[RFC 4/4]x86: avoid tlbstate lock if no enough cpus
From
Date
This one isn't related to previous patch. If online cpus are below
NUM_INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTORS, we don't need the lock. The comments
in the code declares we don't need the check, but a hot lock still
needs an atomic operation and expensive, so add the check here.
