kvm_vncr_tlb_lookup() is supposed to return true when the cached VNCR
TLB entry is valid for the current context. For non-Global entries, that
means the entry’s ASID must match the current ASID.

The current code returns true when the ASIDs do *not* match, which
inverts the logic. This is a potential vulnerability:

- Valid entries are ignored and we fall back to kvm_translate_vncr(),
  hurting performance.
- Mismatched entries are treated as permission faults (-EPERM) instead
  of triggering a fresh translation.
- This can also cause stale translations to be (wrongly) considered
  valid across address spaces.

Flip the predicate so non-Global entries only hit when ASIDs match.
