KVM: MIPS/T&E: Reduce stale ASID checks
The stale ASID checks taking place on VCPU load can be reduced:
- Now that we check for a stale ASID on guest re-entry, there is no need
to do so when loading the VCPU outside of guest context, since it will
happen before entering the guest. Note that a lot of KVM VCPU ioctls
will cause the VCPU to be loaded but guest context won't be entered.
- There is no need to check for a stale kernel_mm ASID when the guest is
in user mode and vice versa. In fact doing so can potentially be
problematic since the user_mm ASID regeneration may trigger a new ASID
cycle, which would cause the kern_mm ASID to become stale after it has
been checked for staleness.
Therefore only check the ASID for the mm corresponding to the current
guest mode, and only if we're already in guest context. We drop some of
the related kvm_debug() calls here too.
