[PATCH v4 11/12] x86/xen: use lazy_mmu_state when context-switching

We currently set a TIF flag when scheduling out a task that is in
lazy MMU mode, in order to restore it when the task is scheduled
again.
The generic lazy_mmu layer now tracks whether a task is in lazy MMU
mode in task_struct::lazy_mmu_state. We can therefore check that
state when switching to the new task, instead of using a separate
TIF flag.
