4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Will Deacon <[email protected]>

commit d96cc49bff5a7735576cc6f6f111f875d101cec8 upstream.

enter_lazy_tlb is called when a kernel thread rides on the back of
another mm, due to a context switch or an explicit call to unuse_mm
where a call to switch_mm is elided.

In these cases, it's important to keep the saved ttbr value up to date
with the active mm, otherwise we can end up with a stale value which
points to a potentially freed page table.

This patch implements enter_lazy_tlb for arm64, so that the saved ttbr0
is kept up-to-date with the active mm for kernel threads.
