Subject: arm64: mm: replace TIF_LAZY_MMU with is_lazy_mmu_mode_active()
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2025 15:03:19 +0000

The generic lazy_mmu layer now tracks whether a task is in lazy MMU mode. 
As a result we no longer need a TIF flag for that purpose - let's use the
new is_lazy_mmu_mode_active() helper instead.

The explicit check for in_interrupt() is no longer necessary either as
is_lazy_mmu_mode_active() always returns false in interrupt context.
