> Originally,
> commit fa4531f753f1 ("powerpc/mm: Don't send IPI to all cpus on THP updates")
> introduced serialize_against_pte_lookup() call for both Radix and Hash.
>
> However below commit fixed the race with Radix
> commit 70cbc3cc78a9 ("mm: gup: fix the fast GUP race against THP collapse")
>
> And therefore following commit removed the
> serialize_against_pte_lookup() call from radix_pgtable.c
> commit bedf03416913
> ("powerpc/64s/radix: don't need to broadcast IPI for radix pmd collapse flush")
>
> Now since serialize_against_pte_lookup() only gets called from
> hash__pmdp_collapse_flush(), thus move the related functions to
> hash_pgtable.c
>
> Hence this patch:
> - moves serialize_against_pte_lookup() from radix_pgtable.c to hash_pgtable.c
> - removes the radix specific calls from do_serialize()
> - renames do_serialize() to do_nothing().
>
> There should not be any functionality change in this patch.
