Conceptually, we want the memory mappings to always be up to date and
represent whatever is in the TLB. To ensure that, we need to sync them
over in the userspace case and for the kernel we need to process the
mappings.
The kernel will call flush_tlb_* if page table entries that were valid
before become invalid. Unfortunately, this is not the case if entries
are added.
As such, change both flush_tlb_* and set_ptes to track the memory range
that has to be synchronized. For the kernel, we need to execute a
flush_tlb_kern_* immediately but we can wait for the first page fault in
case of set_ptes. For userspace in contrast we only store that a range
of memory needs to be synced and do so whenever we switch to that
process.

The current LDT code has a few issues that mean it should be redone in a
different way once we always start with a fresh MM even when cloning.
In a new and better world, the kernel would just ensure its own LDT is
clear at startup. At that point, all that is needed is a simple function
to populate the LDT from another MM in arch_dup_mmap combined with some
tracking of the installed LDT entries for each MM.
Note that the old implementation was even incorrect with regard to
reading, as it copied out the LDT entries in the internal format rather
than converting them to the userspace structure.
Removal should be fine as the LDT is not used for thread-local storage
anymore.

The __switch_mm function is defined in the user code, and is called
by the kernel code. It should be declared in a shared header.

I removed all the users of this some time ago, but
evidently forgot the pointers. Remove them from the
data structure too.

seriously, kmalloc() for two-element array of pointers?

it's x86-only and we have no business playing with it in asm/mmu.h; make
the latter have
struct uml_arch_mm_context arch;
instead of
struct uml_ldt ldt;
and let arch/<subarch>/um/asm/mm_context.h decide what'll be in there.
While we are at it, kill host_ldt.h - it's not needed in part of places
that include it (we want asm/ldt.h in those) and it can be trivially
expanded into the single remaining one.
