powerpc fixes for 4.13 #8

Browse source 
Just one fix, to add a barrier in the switch_mm() code to make sure the mm
 cpumask update is ordered vs the MMU starting to load translations. As far as we
 know no one's actually hit the bug, but that's just luck.
 
 Thanks to:
   Benjamin Herrenschmidt, Nicholas Piggin.
