Subject: x86/mm: Remove hard-coded ASID limit checks

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

commit cb0a9144a744e55207e24dcef812f05cd15a499a upstream.

First, it's nice to remove the magic numbers.

Second, PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION is going to consume half of the available ASID
space.  The space is currently unused, but add a comment to spell out this
new restriction.
