This changes the semantics a bit; previously "flush" would flush
anything pending but leave us in lazy mode. This just drops lazymode
altogether?

I guess if we assume that flushing is a rare event then its OK, but I
think the name's a bit misleading. How does it differ from plain
arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode()?
