x86/mm/tlb: Ignore f->new_tlb_gen when zero
Commit aa44284960d5 ("x86/mm/tlb: Avoid reading mm_tlb_gen when possible") introduced an optimization to skip superfluous TLB flushes based on the generation provided in flush_tlb_info. However, arch_tlbbatch_flush() does not provide any generation in flush_tlb_info and populates the flush_tlb_info generation with 0. This 0 is causes the flush_tlb_info to be interpreted as a superfluous, old flush. As a result, try_to_unmap_one() would not perform any TLB flushes. Fix it by checking whether f->new_tlb_gen is nonzero. Zero value is anyhow is an invalid generation value. To avoid future confusion, introduce TLB_GENERATION_INVALID constant and use it properly. Add warnings to ensure no partial flushes are done with TLB_GENERATION_INVALID or when f->mm is NULL, since this does not make any sense. In addition, add the missing unlikely().
