arm64: mm: Fix TLBI vs ASID rollover



commit 5e10f988 upstream.

When switching to an 'mm_struct' for the first time following an ASID
rollover, a new ASID may be allocated and assigned to 'mm->context.id'.
This reassignment can happen concurrently with other operations on the
mm, such as unmapping pages and subsequently issuing TLB invalidation.

Consequently, we need to ensure that (a) accesses to 'mm->context.id'
are atomic and (b) all page-table updates made prior to a TLBI using the
old ASID are guaranteed to be visible to CPUs running with the new ASID.

This was found by inspection after reviewing the VMID changes from
Shameer but it looks like a real (yet hard to hit) bug.
