The patch below should fix a race which could cause stale TLB entries. Specifically, when 2 CPUs ended up racing for entrance to wrap_mmu_context(). The losing CPU would find that by the time it acquired ctx.lock, mm->context already had a valid value, but then it failed to (re-)check the delayed TLB flushing logic and hence could end up using a context number when there were still stale entries in its TLB. The fix is to check for delayed TLB flushes only after mm->context is valid (non-zero). The patch also makes GCC v4.x happier by defining a non-volatile variant of mm_context_t called nv_mm_context_t.
