arch, mm: Remove tlb_fast_mode()
Since the introduction of preemptible mmu_gather TLB fast mode has been
broken. TLB fast mode relies on there being absolutely no concurrency;
it frees pages first and invalidates TLBs later.
However now we can get concurrency and stuff goes *bang*.
This patch removes all tlb_fast_mode() code; it was found the better
option vs trying to patch the hole by entangling tlb invalidation with
the scheduler.
