MIPS: Init new mmu_context for each possible CPU to avoid memory corruption
Currently, init_new_context() only for each online CPU, this may cause
memory corruption when CPU hotplug and fork() happens at the same time.
To avoid this, we make init_new_context() cover each possible CPU.
Scenario:
1, CPU#1 is being offline;
2, On CPU#0, do_fork() call dup_mm() and copy a mm_struct to the child;
3, On CPU#0, dup_mm() call init_new_context(), since CPU#1 is offline
and init_new_context() only covers the online CPUs, child has the
same asid as its parent on CPU#1 (however, child's asid should be 0);
4, CPU#1 is being online;
5, Now, if both parent and child run on CPU#1, memory corruption (e.g.
segfault, bus error, etc.) will occur.
