[PATCH 2/2] arm64: update ASID limit

During a rollover, we mark the active ASID on each CPU as reserved, before
allocating a new ID for the task that caused the rollover. This means that
with N CPUs, we can only guarantee the new task to obtain a valid ASID if
we have at least N+1 ASIDs. Update this limit in the initcall check.
Note that this restriction was introduced by commit 8e648066 on the
arch/arm side, which disallow re-using the previously active ASID on the
local CPU, as it would introduce a TLB race.
In addition, we only dispose of NUM_USER_ASIDS-1, since ASID 0 is
reserved. Add this restriction as well.
