[PATCH v8 6/9] xen/x86: use flag byte for decision whether xen_cr3 is valid

[Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com>]

Today cpu_info->xen_cr3 is either 0 to indicate %cr3 doesn't need to
be switched on entry to Xen, or negative for keeping the value while
indicating not to restore %cr3, or positive in case %cr3 is to be
restored.

Switch to use a flag byte instead of a negative xen_cr3 value in order
to allow %cr3 values with the high bit set in case we want to keep TLB
entries when using the PCID feature.

This reduces the number of branches in interrupt handling and results
in better performance (e.g. parallel make of the Xen hypervisor on my
system was using about 3% less system time).

V3:
- renamed use_xen_cr3 to better fitting use_pv_cr3
- corrected comment regarding semantics of use_pv_cr3 (Jan Beulich)
- prefer 32-bit operations over 8- or 16-bit ones (Jan Beulich)
