Commit 82d86de25b9c99db546e17c6f7ebf9a691da557e "TLB lock recursive"
introduced a bug whereby cpu 0 uses the same value for "lock held" as
is used to indicate that the lock is free. This means that cpu 1 can
acquire the lock whenever it wants, regardless of whether cpu 0 has it
locked, which in turn means we can get duplicate TLB entries.
Add one to the CPU value to ensure we do not use zero as a "lock held"
value.

v2: The comment on r10 was wrong before (since we don't set r10
until after entry), and it's even more wrong now that we add one
to the cpu number. Also added Reported-by.
