[PATCH RESEND] riscv: asid: Fixup stale TLB entry cause application crash

From: Guo Ren <guoren@linux.alibaba.com>

After use_asid_allocator enabled, the userspace application will
crash for stale tlb entry. Because only using cpumask_clear_cpu without
local_flush_tlb_all couldn't guarantee CPU's tlb entries fresh. Then
set_mm_asid would cause user space application get a stale value by
the stale tlb entry, but set_mm_noasid is okay.

Here is the symptom of the bug:
unhandled signal 11 code 0x1 (coredump)
0x0000003fd6d22524 <+4>: auipc s0,0x70
0x0000003fd6d22528 <+8>: ld s0,-148(s0) # 0x3fd6d92490
=> 0x0000003fd6d2252c <+12>: ld a5,0(s0)
(gdb) i r s0
s0 0x8082ed1cc3198b21 0x8082ed1cc3198b21
(gdb) x/16 0x3fd6d92490
0x3fd6d92490: 0xd80ac8a8 0x0000003f
The core dump file shows that the value of register s0 is wrong, but the
value in memory is right. This is because 'ld s0, -148(s0)' use a stale
mapping entry in TLB and got a wrong value from a stale physical
address.

When task run on CPU0, the task loaded/speculative-loaded the value of
address(0x3fd6d92490), and the first version of tlb mapping entry was
PTWed into CPU0's tlb.
When the task switched from CPU0 to CPU1 without local_tlb_flush_all
(because of asid), the task happened to write a value on address
(0x3fd6d92490). It caused do_page_fault -> wp_page_copy ->
ptep_clear_flush -> ptep_get_and_clear & flush_tlb_page.
The flush_tlb_page used mm_cpumask(mm) to determine which CPUs need
tlb flush, but CPU0 had cleared the CPU0's mm_cpumask in previous switch_mm.
So we only flushed the CPU1 tlb, and setted second version mapping
of the pte. When the task switch from CPU1 to CPU0 again, CPU0 still used a
stale tlb mapping entry which contained a wrong target physical address.
When the task happened to read that value, the bug would be raised.
