s390/mm: always force a load of the primary ASCE on context switch
The ASCE of an mm_struct can be modified after a task has been created, e.g. via crst_table_downgrade for a compat process. The active_mm logic to avoid the switch_mm call if the next task is a kernel thread can lead to a situation where switch_mm is called where 'prev == next' is true but 'prev->context.asce == next->context.asce' is not. This can lead to a situation where a CPU uses the outdated ASCE to run a task. The result can be a crash, endless loops and really subtle problem due to TLBs being created with an invalid ASCE.
