x86/paravirt: flush pending mmu updates on context switch

Browse Source 
Impact: allow preemption during lazy mmu updates

If we're in lazy mmu mode when context switching, leave
lazy mmu mode, but remember the task's state in
TIF_LAZY_MMU_UPDATES.  When we resume the task, check this
flag and re-enter lazy mmu mode if its set.

This sets things up for allowing lazy mmu mode while preemptible,
though that won't actually be active until the next change.
