Subject: [patch V2 01/16] x86/tlb: Uninline __get_current_cr3_fast()

cpu_tlbstate is exported because various TLB related functions need access
to it, but cpu_tlbstate is sensitive information which should only be
accessed by well contained kernel functions and not be directly exposed to
modules.

In preparation of unexporting cpu_tlbstate move __get_current_cr3_fast()
into the x86 TLB management code.

No functional change.
