cpu_tlbstate is exported because various TLB-related functions need access to it, but cpu_tlbstate is sensitive information which should only be accessed by well-contained kernel functions and not be directly exposed to modules. As a first step, move __flush_tlb() out of line and hide the native function. The latter can be static when CONFIG_PARAVIRT is disabled. Consolidate the namespace while at it and remove the pointless extra wrapper in the paravirt code. No functional change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
