[RFC PATCH 11/30] arm64: mm: Pin down ASIDs for sharing contexts with devices

In order to enable address space sharing with the IOMMU, we introduce
functions mm_context_get and mm_context_put, that pin down a context and
ensure that its ASID won't be modified willy-nilly after a rollover.
Pinning is necessary because, once a device is using an ASID, it needs a
valid and unique one at all times, whether the associated task is running
or not.
Without pinning, we would need to notify the IOMMU when we're about to use
a new ASID for a task. Things would get messy when a new task is assigned
a shared ASID. Consider the following scenario:
1. Task t1 is running on CPUx with shared ASID (1, 1)
2. Task t2 is scheduled on CPUx, gets ASID (1, 2)
3. Task tn is scheduled on CPUy, a rollover occurs, tn gets ASID (2, 1)
We would now have to immediately generate a new ASID for t1, notify
the IOMMU, and finally enable task tn. We are holding the lock during
all that time, since we can't afford having another CPU trigger a
rollover.
It gets needlessly complicated, and all we wanted to do was schedule poor
task tn, that has no business with the IOMMU. By letting the IOMMU pin
tasks when needed, we avoid stalling the slow path, and let the pinning
fail when we're out of potential ASIDs.
After a rollover, we assume that there is at least one more ASID than
number of CPUs. So we can use (NR_ASIDS - NR_CPUS - 1) as a hard limit for
the number of ASIDs we can afford to share with the IOMMU.
Since multiple IOMMUs could pin the same context, we need to keep track of
the number of references. Add a refcount value in mm_context_t for this
purpose.
