[ARM] Fix ASID version switch
Close a hole in the ASID version switch, particularly the following
scenario:
CPU0 MM PID CPU1 MM PID
idle
A pid(A)
A idle(lazy tlb)
* new asid version triggered by B *
B pid(B)
A pid(A)
* MM A gets new asid version *
A idle(lazy tlb)
A pid(A)
* CPU1 doesn't see the new ASID *
The result is that CPU1 continues running with the hardware set
for the original (stale) ASID value, but mm->context.id contains
the new ASID value. The result is that the next MM fault on CPU1
updates the page table entries, but flush_tlb_page() fails due to
wrong ASID.
There is a related case with a threaded application is allocated
a new ASID on one CPU while another of its threads is running on
some different CPU. This scenario is not fixed by this commit.
