Subject: [PATCH 32/37] x86: separate out LDT init from context init


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

The arch-specific mm_context_t is a great place to put
protection-key allocation state.

But, we need to initialize the allocation state because pkey 0 is
always "allocated".  All of the runtime initialization of
mm_context_t is done in *_ldt() manipulation functions.  This
renames the existing LDT functions like this:

	init_new_context() -> init_new_context_ldt()
	destroy_context() -> destroy_context_ldt()

and makes init_new_context() and destroy_context() available for
generic use.
