x86/mm/64: Stop using CR3.PCID == 0 in ASID-aware code

Putting the logical ASID into CR3's PCID bits directly means that we
have two cases to consider separately: ASID == 0 and ASID != 0.
This means that bugs that only hit in one of these cases trigger
nondeterministically.

There were some bugs like this in the past, and I think there's
still one in current kernels.  In particular, we have a number of
ASID-unware code paths that save CR3, write some special value, and
then restore CR3.  This includes suspend/resume, hibernate, kexec,
EFI, and maybe other things I've missed.  This is currently
dangerous: if ASID != 0, then this code sequence will leave garbage
in the TLB tagged for ASID 0.  We could potentially see corruption
when switching back to ASID 0.  In principle, an
initialize_tlbstate_and_flush() call after these sequences would
solve the problem, but EFI, at least, does not call this.  (And it
probably shouldn't -- initialize_tlbstate_and_flush() is rather
expensive.)
