LAM can only be enabled when a process is single-threaded. But _kernel_
threads can temporarily use a single-threaded process's mm. That means
that a context-switching kernel thread can race and observe the mm's LAM
metadata (mm->context.lam_cr3_mask) change.
The context switch code does two logical things with that metadata:
populate CR3 and populate 'cpu_tlbstate.lam'. If it hits this race,
'cpu_tlbstate.lam' and CR3 can end up out of sync.
This de-synchronization is currently harmless. But it is confusing and
might lead to warnings or real bugs.
Update set_tlbstate_lam_mode() to take in the LAM mask and untag mask
instead of an mm_struct pointer, and while we are at it, rename it to
cpu_tlbstate_update_lam(). This should also make it clearer that we are
updating cpu_tlbstate. In switch_mm_irqs_off(), read the LAM mask once
and use it for both the cpu_tlbstate update and the CR3 update.
