x86/mm: Give each mm TLB flush generation a unique ID
This adds two new variables to mmu_context_t: ctx_id and tlb_gen. ctx_id uniquely identifies the mm_struct and will never be reused. For a given mm_struct (and hence ctx_id), tlb_gen is a monotonic count of the number of times that a TLB flush has been requested. The pair (ctx_id, tlb_gen) can be used as an identifier for TLB flush actions and will be used in subsequent patches to reliably determine whether all needed TLB flushes have occurred on a given CPU. This patch is split out for ease of review. By itself, it has no real effect other than creating and updating the new variables.
