Merge branch 'for-5.14-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dennis/percpu

Pull percpu fix from Dennis Zhou:
 "This is just a single change to fix percpu depopulation. The code
  relied on depopulation code written specifically for the free path and
  relied on vmalloc to do the tlb flush lazily. As we're modifying the
  backing pages during the lifetime of a chunk, we need to also flush
  the tlb accordingly.

  Guenter Roeck reported this issue in [1] on mips. I believe we just
  happen to be lucky given the much larger chunk sizes on x86 and
  consequently less churning of this memory"
