x86/mm/tlb: Ignore f->new_tlb_gen when zero


Commit aa442849 ("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().
