Implementing pte_update with pte_xchg (which uses cmpxchg) is
inefficient. A single larx/stcx. works fine, no need for the less
efficient cmpxchg sequence.
Then remove the memory barriers from the operation. There is a
requirement for TLB flushing to load mm_cpumask after the store
that reduces pte permissions, which is moved into the TLB flush
code.

Allow PowerPC to skip the full memory barrier in switch_mm(), and
only issue the barrier when scheduling into a task belonging to a
process that has registered to use expedited private.
Threads targeting the same VM but which belong to different thread
groups is a tricky case. It has a few consequences:
It turns out that we cannot rely on get_nr_threads(p) to count the
number of threads using a VM. We can use
(atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) == 1 && get_nr_threads(p) == 1)
instead to skip the synchronize_sched() for cases where the VM only has
a single user, and that user only has a single thread.
It also turns out that we cannot use for_each_thread() to set
thread flags in all threads using a VM, as it only iterates on the
thread group.
Therefore, test the membarrier state variable directly rather than
relying on thread flags. This means
membarrier_register_private_expedited() needs to set the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag, issue synchronize_sched(), and
only then set MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_READY which allows
private expedited membarrier commands to succeed.
membarrier_arch_switch_mm() now tests for the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag.

The PSL and nMMU need to see all TLB invalidations for the memory
contexts used on the adapter. For the hash memory model, it is done by
making all TLBIs global as soon as the cxl driver is in use. For
radix, we need something similar, but we can refine and only convert
to global the invalidations for contexts actually used by the device.
The new mm_context_add_copro() API increments the 'active_cpus' count
for the contexts attached to the cxl adapter. As soon as there's more
than 1 active cpu, the TLBIs for the context become global. Active cpu
count must be decremented when detaching to restore locality if
possible and to avoid overflowing the counter.
The hash memory model support is somewhat limited, as we can't
decrement the active cpus count when mm_context_remove_copro() is
called, because we can't flush the TLB for a mm on hash. So TLBIs
remain global on hash.
