ARM: 7924/1: mm: don't bother with reserved ttbr0 when running with LPAE
With the new ASID allocation algorithm, active ASIDs at the time of a rollover event will be marked as reserved, so active mm_structs can continue to operate with the same ASID as before. This in turn means that we don't need to worry about allocating a new ASID to an mm that is currently active (installed in TTBR0). Since updating the pgd and ASID is atomic on LPAE systems (by virtue of the two being fields in the same hardware register), we can dispose of the reserved TTBR0 and rely on whatever tables we currently have live.
