arm64: mm: rewrite ASID allocator and MM context-switching code

Our current switch_mm implementation suffers from a number of problems:

  (1) The ASID allocator relies on IPIs to synchronise the CPUs on a
      rollover event

  (2) Because of (1), we cannot allocate ASIDs with interrupts disabled
      and therefore make use of a TIF_SWITCH_MM flag to postpone the
      actual switch to finish_arch_post_lock_switch

  (3) We run context switch with a reserved (invalid) TTBR0 value, even
      though the ASID and pgd are updated atomically

  (4) We take a global spinlock (cpu_asid_lock) during context-switch

  (5) We use h/w broadcast TLB operations when they are not required
      (e.g. in flush_context)

This patch addresses these problems by rewriting the ASID algorithm to
match the bitmap-based arch/arm/ implementation more closely. This in
turn allows us to remove much of the complications surrounding switch_mm,
including the ugly thread flag.
