The patch below should fix a race which could cause stale TLB entries.
Specifically, when 2 CPUs ended up racing for entrance to
wrap_mmu_context(). The losing CPU would find that by the time it
acquired ctx.lock, mm->context already had a valid value, but then it
failed to (re-)check the delayed TLB flushing logic and hence could
end up using a context number when there were still stale entries in
its TLB. The fix is to check for delayed TLB flushes only after
mm->context is valid (non-zero). The patch also makes GCC v4.x
happier by defining a non-volatile variant of mm_context_t called
nv_mm_context_t.
