[RFC PATCH 1/1] riscv: mm: notify remote harts about mmu cache updates

From: Sergey Matyukevich <sergey.matyukevich at syntacore.com>

Current implementation of update_mmu_cache function performs local TLB
flush. It does not take into account ASID information. Besides, it does
not take into account other harts currently running the same mm context
or possible migration of the running context to other harts. Meanwhile
TLB flush is not performed for every context switch if ASID support
is enabled.

Patch [1] proposed to add ASID support to update_mmu_cache to avoid
flushing local TLB entirely. This patch takes into account other
harts currently running the same mm context as well as possible
migration of this context to other harts.

For this purpose the approach from flush_icache_mm is reused. Remote
harts currently running the same mm context are informed via SBI calls
that they need to flush their local TLBs. All the other harts are marked
as needing a deferred TLB flush when this mm context runs on them.
