LAM can only be enabled when a process is single-threaded. But _kernel_ threads can temporarily use a single-threaded process's mm. That means that a context-switching kernel thread can race and observe the mm's LAM metadata (mm->context.lam_cr3_mask) change. The context switch code does two logical things with that metadata: populate CR3 and populate 'cpu_tlbstate.lam'. If it hits this race, 'cpu_tlbstate.lam' and CR3 can end up out of sync. This de-synchronization is currently harmless. But it is confusing and might lead to warnings or real bugs. Update set_tlbstate_lam_mode() to take in the LAM mask and untag mask instead of an mm_struct pointer, and while we are at it, rename it to cpu_tlbstate_update_lam(). This should also make it clearer that we are updating cpu_tlbstate. In switch_mm_irqs_off(), read the LAM mask once and use it for both the cpu_tlbstate update and the CR3 update.
