Subject: [PATCH v2 05/11] x86/mm: Change the leave_mm() condition for local TLB flushes

On a remote TLB flush, we leave_mm() if we're TLBSTATE_LAZY.  For a
local flush_tlb_mm_range(), we leave_mm() if !current->mm.  These
are approximately the same condition -- the scheduler sets lazy TLB
mode when switching to a thread with no mm.

I'm about to merge the local and remote flush code, but for ease of
verifying and bisecting the patch, I want the local and remote flush
behavior to match first.  This patch changes the local code to match
the remote code.
