Commit 93065ac753e44438 ("mm, oom: distinguish blockable mode for mmu
notifiers") added "continue;" without calling tlb_finish_mmu(). It should
not cause a critical problem but fix anyway because it looks strange.

I would suggest the following wording instead

93065ac753e44438 ("mm, oom: distinguish blockable mode for mmu
notifiers") has added an ability to skip over vmas with blockable mmu
notifiers. This however didn't call tlb_finish_mmu as it should. As
a result inc_tlb_flush_pending has been called without its pairing
dec_tlb_flush_pending and all callers mm_tlb_flush_pending would flush
even though this is not really needed. This alone is not harmful and
it seems there shouldn't be any such callers for oom victims at all but
there is no real reason to skip tlb_finish_mmu on early skip either so
call it.
