Subject: [PATCH 1/2] sched/mm: add finish_switch_mm function

The switch_mm function is called with the task_lock and/or with
request queue lock. Add finish_switch_mm to allow an architecture
to execute some code after the mm has been switched but without
any locks held. One use case is the s390 architecture which will
use this to wait for the completion of TLB flush operations.
