KVM: arm64: Align the VMID allocation with the arm64 ASID

Browse source 
At the moment, the VMID algorithm will send an SGI to all the
CPUs to force an exit and then broadcast a full TLB flush and
I-Cache invalidation.

This patch uses the new VMID allocator. The benefits are:
   - Aligns with arm64 ASID algorithm.
   - CPUs are not forced to exit at roll-over. Instead,
     the VMID will be marked reserved and context invalidation
     is broadcasted. This will reduce the IPIs traffic.
   - More flexible to add support for pinned KVM VMIDs in
     the future.
   
With the new algo, the code is now adapted:
    - The call to update_vmid() will be done with preemption
      disabled as the new algo requires to store information
      per-CPU.
