Subject: kaiser: kaiser_flush_tlb_on_return_to_user() check PCID

From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>


Let kaiser_flush_tlb_on_return_to_user() do the X86_FEATURE_PCID
check, instead of each caller doing it inline first: nobody needs
to optimize for the noPCID case, it's clearer this way, and better
suits later changes.  Replace those no-op X86_CR3_PCID_KERN_FLUSH lines
by a BUILD_BUG_ON() in load_new_mm_cr3(), in case something changes.
