lazy tlb: fix hotplug exit race with MMU_LAZY_TLB_SHOOTDOWN
CPU unplug first calls __cpu_disable(), and that's where powerpc calls cleanup_cpu_mmu_context(), which clears this CPU from mm_cpumask() of all mms in the system. However this CPU may still be using a lazy tlb mm, and its mm_cpumask bit will be cleared from it. The CPU does not switch away from the lazy tlb mm until arch_cpu_idle_dead() calls idle_task_exit(). If that user mm exits in this window, it will not be subject to the lazy tlb mm shootdown and may be freed while in use as a lazy mm by the CPU that is being unplugged. cleanup_cpu_mmu_context() could be moved later, but it looks better to move the lazy tlb mm switching earlier. The problem with doing the lazy mm switching in idle_task_exit() is explained in commit bf2c59fce4074 ("sched/core: Fix illegal RCU from offline CPUs"), which added a wart to switch away from the mm but leave it set in active_mm to be cleaned up later. So instead, switch away from the lazy tlb mm at sched_cpu_wait_empty(), which is the last hotplug state before teardown (CPUHP_AP_SCHED_WAIT_EMPTY). This CPU will never switch to a user thread from this point, so it has no chance to pick up a new lazy tlb mm. This removes the lazy tlb mm handling wart in CPU unplug. With this, idle_task_exit() is not needed anymore and can be cleaned up. This leaves the prototype alone, to be cleaned after this change. herton: took the suggestions from https://lore.kernel.org/all/87jzvyprsw.ffs@tglx/ and made adjustments on the initial patch proposed by Nicholas.
