This reverts commit 6bfef171d0d74cb050112e0e49feb20bfddf7f42.

I was wrong. Though ARM64 has hardware TLB flush, but it is not free
and it is still 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 the existing
BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH.
