This reverts commit 6bfef171d0d74cb050112e0e49feb20bfddf7f42.

I was wrong to say batched tlb flush didn't apply to ARM. The fact
is though ARM64 has hardware TLB flush, it is not free and could
be quite expensive.

We still have a good chance to enable batched and deferred TLB flush
on ARM64 for memory reclamation. A possible way is that we only queue
tlbi instructions in hardware's queue. When we have to broadcast TLB,
we broadcast it by dsb. We just need to get adapted to the existing
framework of BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH.
