x86/mm: Optimize RESTORE_CR3



Most NMI/paranoid exceptions will not in fact change pagetables and would
thus not require TLB flushing, however RESTORE_CR3 uses flushing CR3
writes.

Restores to kernel PCIDs can be NOFLUSH, because we explicitly flush the
kernel mappings and now that we track which user PCIDs need flushing we can
avoid those too when possible.

This does mean RESTORE_CR3 needs an additional scratch_reg, luckily both
sites have plenty available.
