Short range flushes issue a sequences of tlbie(l) instructions for
individual effective addresses. These do not all require individual
barrier sequences, only one covering all tlbie(l) instructions.
Commit f7327e0ba3 ("powerpc/mm/radix: Remove unnecessary ptesync")
made a similar optimization for tlbiel for PID flushing.
For tlbie, the ISA says:
The tlbsync instruction provides an ordering function for the
effects of all tlbie instructions executed by the thread executing
the tlbsync instruction, with respect to the memory barrier
created by a subsequent ptesync instruction executed by the same
thread.
