CPUs no longer running an mm may remain in mm_cpumask(). Hyper-V treats
these CPUs as flush targets and bypasses the native callbacks that trim
the mask. A single-threaded process can therefore keep issuing
all-processor flushes after visiting all CPUs and returning to one CPU.

Share the native target predicate and filter the mask before building
either hypercall format or selecting HV_FLUSH_ALL_PROCESSORS. Preserve
lazy-TLB exclusion and unfiltered page-table-freeing flushes, and use
native callbacks for periodic trimming and ASID transitions.

When no remote targets remain, request immediate trimming through native
callbacks so stale memberships do not unnecessarily prevent later
invalidations from using the local fast path. Leave lazy CPU-mask
maintenance during context switches unchanged.

Fixes: 209954cbc7d0 ("x86/mm/tlb: Update mm_cpumask lazily")

On a 32-vCPU Hyper-V guest, after a single-threaded process visited all
CPUs and returned to one CPU, the reproducer's median time per iteration
(two mprotect() calls and a write) dropped from 17.235 us to 1.622 us,
a 90.6% reduction. This could be more on higher vCPU VMs.
