[PATCH] x86/xen: Fix lazy mmu handling across context switch



The recent rework of mmu lazy mode has resulted in problems when
running as a Xen PV guest. Enabling lazy mmu mode for the new context
during context switch is done from the arch_end_context_switch() hook,
but when calling this hook current hasn't been changed yet, so the
lazy mmu mode state of the wrong task is modified.

Additionally it is much cleaner to use lazy_mmu_mode_pause() and
lazy_mmu_mode_resume() in the Xen context switch hooks, as it avoids
conditionals in those hooks.

In order not having to add another hook to be called after switching
current, modify lazy_mmu_mode_resume() to use a new sub-function which
takes a task pointer as parameter. This new sub-function can then be
used in the xen_end_context_switch() hook.
