MIPS: KVM/locore.S: Don't preserve host ASID around vcpu_run
MIPS KVM uses different ASIDs for guest execution than for the host.
The host ASID is saved on the stack when entering the guest with
__kvm_mips_vcpu_run(), and restored again before returning back to the
caller (exit to userland).
- This does not take into account that pre-emption may have taken place
during that time, which may have started a new ASID cycle and resulted
in that process' ASID being invalidated and reused.
- This does not take into account that the process may have migrated to
a different CPU during that time, with a different ASID assignment
since they are managed per-CPU.
- It is actually redundant, since the host ASID will be restored
correctly by kvm_arch_vcpu_put(), which is called almost immediately
after kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() returns.
Therefore drop this code from locore.S
