[PATCH v4] KVM: PPC: e500mc: Enhance tlb invalidation condition on vcpu schedule

[Mihai Caraman]

On vcpu schedule, the condition checked for tlb pollution is too loose.
The tlb entries of a vcpu become polluted (vs stale) only when a different
vcpu within the same logical partition runs in-between. Optimize the tlb
invalidation condition keeping last_vcpu per logical partition id.

With the new invalidation condition, a guest shows 4% performance improvement
on P5020DS while running a memory stress application with the cpu oversubscribed,
the other guest running a cpu intensive workload.

Guest - old invalidation condition
  real 3.89
  user 3.87
  sys 0.01

Guest - enhanced invalidation condition
  real 3.75
  user 3.73
  sys 0.01

Host
  real 3.70
  user 1.85
  sys 0.00

The memory stress application accesses 4KB pages backed by 75% of available
TLB0 entries:

char foo[ENTRIES][4096] __attribute__ ((aligned (4096)));

int main()
{
	char bar;
	int i, j;

	for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++)
        	for (j = 0; j < ENTRIES; j++)
            		bar = foo[j][0];

	return 0;
}

v4:
 - rename last_vcpu_on_cpu to last_vcpu_of_lpid
 - use "*[" syntax despite checkpatch error
 
v3:
 - use existing logic while keeping last_cpu per lpid
