Implement optimized version of the tlb flushing routines for systems
using ASIDs. These are behind the use_asid_allocator static branch to
not affect existing systems not using ASIDs.

Currently, we do local TLB flush on every MM switch. This is very harsh on
performance because we are forcing page table walks after every MM switch.
This patch implements ASID allocator for assigning an ASID to a MM context.
The number of ASIDs are limited in HW so we create a logical entity named
CONTEXTID for assigning to MM context. The lower bits of CONTEXTID are ASID
and upper bits are VERSION number. The number of usable ASID bits supported
by HW are detected at boot-time by writing 1s to ASID bits in SATP CSR.
We allocate new CONTEXTID on first MM switch for a MM context where the
ASID is allocated from an ASID bitmap and VERSION is provide by an atomic
counter. At time of allocating new CONTEXTID, if we run out of available
ASIDs then:
1. We flush the ASID bitmap
2. Increment current VERSION atomic counter
3. Re-allocate ASID from ASID bitmap
4. Flush TLB on all CPUs
5. Try CONTEXTID re-assignment on all CPUs
Please note that we don't use ASID #0 because it is used at boot-time by
all CPUs for initial MM context. Also, newly created context is always
assigned CONTEXTID #0 (i.e. VERSION #0 and ASID #0) which is an invalid
context in our implementation.
Using above approach, we have virtually infinite CONTEXTIDs on-top-of
limited number of HW ASIDs. This approach is inspired from ASID allocator
used for Linux ARM/ARM64 but we have adapted it for RISC-V. Overall, this
ASID allocator helps us reduce rate of local TLB flushes on every CPU
thereby increasing performance.
This patch is tested on QEMU virt machine, Spike and SiFive Unleashed
board. On QEMU virt machine, we see some (3-5% approx) performance
improvement with SW emulated TLBs provided by QEMU. Unfortunately,
the ASID bits of the SATP CSR are not implemented on Spike and SiFive
Unleashed board so we don't see any change in performance. On real HW
having all ASID bits implemented, the performance gains will be much
more due improved sharing of TLB among different processes.

The kernel runs in M-mode without using page tables, and thus can't run
bare metal without help from additional firmware.
Most of the patch is just stubbing out code not needed without page
tables, but there is an interesting detail in the signals implementation:
- The normal RISC-V syscall ABI only implements rt_sigreturn as VDSO
entry point, but the ELF VDSO is not supported for nommu Linux.
We instead copy the code to call the syscall onto the stack.
In addition to enabling the nommu code a new defconfig for a small
kernel image that can run in nommu mode on qemu is also provided, to run
a kernel in qemu you can use the following command line:
qemu-system-riscv64 -smp 2 -m 64 -machine virt -nographic \
-kernel arch/riscv/boot/loader \
-drive file=rootfs.ext2,format=raw,id=hd0 \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0

switch_mm is an expensive operations that has two users.
flush_icache_deferred is only called within switch_mm and can be moved
together. The function is expected to be more complicated when ASID
support is added, so clean up eagerly.
By moving them to a separate file we also removes some excessive
dependency of tlbflush.h and cacheflush.h.
