[PATCH v2 2/7] 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.

No other thread can concurrently switch to this mm, because it must
have been given a reference to mm_users by the current thread before it
can use_mm. mm_users can be asynchronously incremented (by
mmget_not_zero), but those users must not do a use_mm, because existing
convention already disallows it (sparc64 has reset mm_cpumask using this
condition since the start of history, see arch/sparc/kernel/smp_64.c).

This reduces tlbies for a kernel compile workload from 0.90M to 0.40M,
tlbiels are increased from 20M to 22.5M because local pid flushes take
128 tlbiels vs 1 for global pid flush.

This slows down context switch benchmark ping-ponging on different
CPUs by 7.5%, because switching to the idle thread and back now
requires a PID switch. There are ways this could be avoided, but for
now it's simpler not to allow lazy PID switching.

Since v1:
- Fix switch_mm to be irq-safe (thanks Balbir)
