This causes:

Because zap_low_mappings happens before the init_smp_flush
core_initcall. Also I don't think init_smp_flush has needed to be
__cpuinit since 09b3ec73, or even before then since it doesn't seem to
be called in any hotplug paths.

Subject: initialise tlbflush locks before any callers

Now that flush_tlb_all() is implemented via flush_tlb_others() the later
can be called before the core_initcalls are run. Make it an
early_initcall so it happens earlier.

Also there is no need for init_smp_flush to be __cpuinit.
