[SPARC64]: Fix TLB context allocation with SMT style shared TLBs.
The context allocation scheme we use depends upon there being a 1<-->1
mapping from cpu to physical TLB for correctness. Chips like Niagara
break this assumption.
So what we do is notify all cpus with a cross call when the context
version number changes, and if necessary this makes them allocate
a valid context for the address space they are running at the time.
Stress tested with make -j1024, make -j2048, and make -j4096 kernel
builds on a 32-strand, 8 core, T2000 with 16GB of ram.
