ARM: mm: remove IPI broadcasting on ASID rollover

ASIDs are allocated to MMU contexts based on a rolling counter. This
means that after 255 allocations we must invalidate all existing ASIDs
via an expensive IPI mechanism to synchronise all of the online CPUs and
ensure that all tasks execute with an ASID from the new generation.

This patch changes the rollover behaviour so that we rely instead on the
hardware broadcasting of the TLB invalidation to avoid the IPI calls.
This works by keeping track of the active ASID on each core, which is
then reserved in the case of a rollover so that currently scheduled
tasks can continue to run. For cores without hardware TLB broadcasting,
we keep track of pending flushes in a cpumask, so cores can flush their
local TLB before scheduling a new mm.

Pull core ARM updates from Russell King:
"This is the bulk of the core ARM updates for this merge window.
Included in here is a different way to handle the VIVT cache flushing
on context switch, which should allow scheduler folk to remove a
special case in their core code.

We have architectured timer support here, which is a set of timers
specified by the ARM architecture for future SoCs. So we should see
less variability in timer design going forward.

The last big thing here is my cleanup to the way we handle PCI across
ARM, fixing some oddities in some platforms which hadn't realised
there was a way to deal with their private data already built in to
our PCI backend.

I've also removed support for the ARMv3 architecture; it hasn't worked
properly for years so it seems pointless to keep it around."

ARM: Remove __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW on pre-ARMv6 CPUs

This patch removes the __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW definition for
ARMv5 and earlier processors. On such processors, the context switch
requires a full cache flush. To avoid high interrupt latencies, this
patch defers the mm switching to the post-lock switch hook if the
interrupts are disabled.

ARM: Remove __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW on ASID-capable CPUs

Since the ASIDs must be unique to an mm across all the CPUs in a system,
the __new_context() function needs to broadcast a context reset event to
all the CPUs during ASID allocation if a roll-over occurred. Such IPIs
cannot be issued with interrupts disabled and ARM had to define
__ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW.

This patch changes the check_context() function to
check_and_switch_context() called from switch_mm(). In case of
ASID-capable CPUs (ARMv6 onwards), if a new ASID is needed and the
interrupts are disabled, it defers the __new_context() and
cpu_switch_mm() calls to the post-lock switch hook where the interrupts
are enabled. Setting the reserved TTBR0 was also moved to
check_and_switch_context() from cpu_v7_switch_mm().
