[PATCH] arm64/mm: save memory access in check_and_switch_context() fast switch path

[Pingfan Liu <kernelfans@gmail.com>]

The cpu_number and __per_cpu_offset cost two different cache lines, and may
not exist after a heavy user space load.

By replacing per_cpu(active_asids, cpu) with this_cpu_ptr(&active_asids) in
fast path, register is used and these memory access are avoided.
