hugetlbfs: flush before unlock on move_hugetlb_page_tables()

      We must flush the TLB before releasing i_mmap_rwsem to avoid the
potential reuse of an unshared PMDs page.  This is not true in the case
of move_hugetlb_page_tables().  The last reference on the page table can
therefore be dropped before the TLB flush took place.

Prevent it by reordering the operations and flushing the TLB before
releasing i_mmap_rwsem.
