MIPS: HTW: Prevent accidental HTW start due to nested htw_{start, stop}
activate_mm() and switch_mm() call get_new_mmu_context() which in turn can enable the HTW before the entryhi is changed with the new ASID. Since the latter will enable the HTW in local_flush_tlb_all(), then there is a small timing window where the HTW is running with the new ASID but with an old pgd since the TLBMISS_HANDLER_SETUP_PGD hasn't assigned a new one yet. In order to prevent that, we introduce a simple htw counter to avoid starting HTW accidentally due to nested htw_{start,stop}() sequences. Moreover, since various IPI calls can enforce TLB flushing operations on a different core, such an operation may interrupt another htw_{stop,start} in progress leading inconsistent updates of the htw_seq variable. In order to avoid that, we disable the interrupts whenever we update that variable.
