Subject: powerpc/mm: Ensure cpumask update is ordered
From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1a92a80ad386a1a6e3b36d576d52a1a456394b70 upstream.
There is no guarantee that the various isync's involved with
the context switch will order the update of the CPU mask with
the first TLB entry for the new context being loaded by the HW.
Be safe here and add a memory barrier to order any subsequent
load/store which may bring entries into the TLB.
The corresponding barrier on the other side already exists as
pte updates use pte_xchg() which uses __cmpxchg_u64 which has
a sync after the atomic operation.
