KVM: MIPS: Drop dubious EntryHi optimisation
There exists a slightly dubious optimisation in the implementation of the MIPS KVM EntryHi emulation which skips TLB invalidation if the EntryHi points to an address in the guest KSeg0 region, intended to catch guest TLB invalidations where the ASID is almost immediately restored to the previous value. Now that we perform lazy host ASID regeneration for guest user mode when the guest ASID changes we should be able to drop the optimisation without a significant impact (only the extra TLB refills for the small amount of code while the TLB is being invalidated).
