[PATCH v1 43/55] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: Comment and fix MMU context switching code

[Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>]

Tighten up partition switching code synchronisation and comments.

In particular, hwsync ; isync is required after the last access that is
performed in the context of a partition, before the partition is
switched away from.

-301 cycles (6319) POWER9 virt-mode NULL hcall
