Hi Anthony.
This patch modifies its semantics.
When tlbflush_clock is 0, it must return 0 without increment.
I.e. "tlbflush_clock == 0" means the overflow is detected and 
new_tlbflush_clock_period() may be flushing concurrently.
So tlbflush_clock must not be incremented until the completion of
new_tlbflush_clock_period()
