[RFC PATCH 6/7] powerpc/64s/radix: reset mm_cpumask for single thread process when possible

When a single-threaded process has a non-local mm_cpumask and requires
a full PID tlbie invalidation, use that as an opportunity to reset the
cpumask back to the current CPU we're running on.

There is a lot of tuning we can do with this, and more sophisticated
management of PIDs and stale translations across CPUs, but this is
something simple that can be done to significantly help single threaded
processes without changing behaviour too much.
