mm_cpumask isn't actually used for anything on arm64, so remove all the
code trying to keep it up-to-date.

switch_mm performs some checks to try and avoid entering the ASID
allocator:
(1) If we're switching to the init_mm (no user mappings), then simply
set a reserved TTBR0 value with no page table (the zero page)
(2) If prev == next *and* the mm_cpumask indicates that we've run on
this CPU before, then we can skip the allocator.
However, there is plenty of redundancy here. With the new ASID allocator,
if prev == next, then we know that our ASID is valid and do not need to
worry about re-allocation. Consequently, we can drop the mm_cpumask check
in (2) and move the prev == next check before the init_mm check, since
if prev == next == init_mm then there's nothing to do.

Our current switch_mm implementation suffers from a number of problems:
(1) The ASID allocator relies on IPIs to synchronise the CPUs on a
rollover event
(2) Because of (1), we cannot allocate ASIDs with interrupts disabled
and therefore make use of a TIF_SWITCH_MM flag to postpone the
actual switch to finish_arch_post_lock_switch
(3) We run context switch with a reserved (invalid) TTBR0 value, even
though the ASID and pgd are updated atomically
(4) We take a global spinlock (cpu_asid_lock) during context-switch
(5) We use h/w broadcast TLB operations when they are not required
(e.g. in flush_context)
This patch addresses these problems by rewriting the ASID algorithm to
match the bitmap-based arch/arm/ implementation more closely. This in
turn allows us to remove much of the complications surrounding switch_mm,
including the ugly thread flag.

There are a number of places where a single CPU is running with a
private page-table and we need to perform maintenance on the TLB and
I-cache in order to ensure correctness, but do not require the operation
to be broadcast to other CPUs.
This patch adds local variants of tlb_flush_all and __flush_icache_all
to support these use-cases and updates the callers respectively.
__local_flush_icache_all also implies an isb, since it is intended to be
used synchronously.

Nobody seems to be producing !SMP systems anymore, so this is just
becoming a source of kernel bugs, particularly if people want to use
coherent DMA with non-shared pages.
This patch forces CONFIG_SMP=y for arm64, removing a modest amount of
code in the process.

After secondary CPU boot or hotplug, the active_mm of the idle thread is
&init_mm. The init_mm.pgd (swapper_pg_dir) is only meant for TTBR1_EL1
and must not be set in TTBR0_EL1. Since when active_mm == &init_mm the
TTBR0_EL1 is already set to the reserved value, there is no need to
perform any context reset.

The patch adds support for thread creation and context switching. The
context switching CPU specific code is introduced with the CPU support
patch (part of the arch/arm64/mm/proc.S file). AArch64 supports
ASID-tagged TLBs and the ASID can be either 8 or 16-bit wide (detectable
via the ID_AA64AFR0_EL1 register).
