membarrier: Provide expedited private command

Implement MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED with IPIs using cpumask built
from all runqueues for which current thread's mm is the same as the
thread calling sys_membarrier. It executes faster than the non-expedited
variant (no blocking). It also works on NOHZ_FULL configurations.

Scheduler-wise, it requires a memory barrier before and after context
switching between processes (which have different mm). The memory
barrier before context switch is already present. For the barrier after
context switch:

* Our TSO archs can do RELEASE without being a full barrier. Look at
  x86 spin_unlock() being a regular STORE for example.  But for those
  archs, all atomics imply smp_mb and all of them have atomic ops in
  switch_mm() for mm_cpumask(), and on x86 the CR3 load acts as a full
  barrier.

* From all weakly ordered machines, only ARM64 and PPC can do RELEASE,
  the rest does indeed do smp_mb(), so there the spin_unlock() is a full
  barrier and we're good.

* ARM64 has a very heavy barrier in switch_to(), which suffices.

* PPC just removed its barrier from switch_to(), but appears to be
  talking about adding something to switch_mm(). So add a
  smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() for now, until this is settled on the PPC
  side.

Changes since v3:
- Properly document the memory barriers provided by each architecture.

Changes since v2:
- Address comments from Peter Zijlstra,
- Add smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() after finish_lock_switch() in
  finish_task_switch() to add the memory barrier we need after storing
  to rq->curr. This is much simpler than the previous approach relying
  on atomic_dec_and_test() in mmdrop(), which actually added a memory
  barrier in the common case of switching between userspace processes.
- Return -EINVAL when MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED is used on a nohz_full
  kernel, rather than having the whole membarrier system call returning
  -ENOSYS. Indeed, CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED is compatible with nohz_full.
  Adapt the CMD_QUERY mask accordingly.

Changes since v1:
- move membarrier code under kernel/sched/ because it uses the
  scheduler runqueue,
- only add the barrier when we switch from a kernel thread. The case
  where we switch from a user-space thread is already handled by
  the atomic_dec_and_test() in mmdrop().
- add a comment to mmdrop() documenting the requirement on the implicit
  memory barrier.
