membarrier: Provide GLOBAL_EXPEDITED command

Allow expedited membarrier to be used for data shared between processes
through shared memory.

Processes wishing to receive the membarriers register with
MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED. Those which want to issue
membarrier invoke MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.

This allows extremely simple kernel-level implementation: we have almost
everything we need with the PRIVATE_EXPEDITED barrier code. All we need
to do is to add a flag in the mm_struct that will be used to check
whether we need to send the IPI to the current thread of each CPU.

There is a slight downside to this approach compared to targeting
specific shared memory users: when performing a membarrier operation,
all registered "global" receivers will get the barrier, even if they
don't share a memory mapping with the sender issuing
MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.

This registration approach seems to fit the requirement of not
disturbing processes that really deeply care about real-time: they
simply should not register with MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.

In order to align the membarrier command names, the "MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED"
command is renamed to "MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL", keeping an alias of
MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED to MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL for UAPI header backward
compatibility.

powerpc, membarrier: Skip memory barrier in switch_mm()

Allow PowerPC to skip the full memory barrier in switch_mm(), and
only issue the barrier when scheduling into a task belonging to a
process that has registered to use expedited private.

Threads targeting the same VM but which belong to different thread
groups is a tricky case. It has a few consequences:

It turns out that we cannot rely on get_nr_threads(p) to count the
number of threads using a VM. We can use
(atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) == 1 && get_nr_threads(p) == 1)
instead to skip the synchronize_sched() for cases where the VM only has
a single user, and that user only has a single thread.

It also turns out that we cannot use for_each_thread() to set
thread flags in all threads using a VM, as it only iterates on the
thread group.

Therefore, test the membarrier state variable directly rather than
relying on thread flags. This means
membarrier_register_private_expedited() needs to set the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag, issue synchronize_sched(), and
only then set MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_READY which allows
private expedited membarrier commands to succeed.
membarrier_arch_switch_mm() now tests for the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag.
