powerpc: During context switch, check before setting mm_cpumask
During context switch, switch_mm() sets our current CPU in mm_cpumask. We can avoid this atomic sequence in most cases by checking before setting the bit. Testing on a POWER8 using our context switch microbenchmark: tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/benchmarks/context_switch \ --process --no-fp --no-altivec --no-vector Performance improves 2%.
