[PATCH v5 4/4] powerpc/64s: enable MMU_LAZY_TLB_SHOOTDOWN

[Nicholas Piggin]

On a 16-socket 192-core POWER8 system, a context switching benchmark
with as many software threads as CPUs (so each switch will go in and
out of idle), upstream can achieve a rate of about 1 million context
switches per second, due to contention on the mm refcount.

powerpc/64s meets the prerequisites for CONFIG_MMU_LAZY_TLB_SHOOTDOWN,
so enable the option. This increases the above benchmark to 118 million.
