KVM: MIPS/MMU: Move preempt/ASID handling to implementation



The MIPS KVM host and guest GVA ASIDs may need regenerating when
scheduling a process in guest context, which is done from the
kvm_arch_vcpu_load() / kvm_arch_vcpu_put() functions in mmu.c.

However this is a fairly implementation specific detail. VZ for example
may use GuestIDs instead of normal ASIDs to distinguish mappings
belonging to different guests, and even on VZ without GuestID the root
TLB will be used differently to trap & emulate.

Trap & emulate GVA ASIDs only relate to the user part of the full
address space, so can be left active during guest exit handling (guest
context) to allow guest instructions to be easily read and translated.

VZ root ASIDs however are for GPA mappings so can't be left active
during normal kernel code. They also aren't useful for accessing guest
virtual memory, and we should have CP0_BadInstr[P] registers available
to provide encodings of trapping guest instructions anyway.

Therefore move the ASID preemption handling into the implementation
callback.
