Nick has a valid point that the sched_in() hook is a fast-path compared
to switch_mm(). Adding an extra TIF test in a fast-path to save a
barrier in a comparatively slow-path is therefore not such a good idea
overall.
Therefore, move the architecture hook to switch_mm() instead.
[ This patch is aimed at Paul's tree. It applies on top of
"membarrier: Provide register expedited private command (v4)" and
"membarrier: Document scheduler barrier requirements (v4)". ]
