Subject: [PATCH v8 2/2] x86/mm: Don't disable PCID if the kernel is running on a hypervisor

The Intel erratum for "incomplete Global INVLPG flushes" says:

    This erratum does not apply in VMX non-root operation. It applies
    only when PCIDs are enabled and either in VMX root operation or
    outside VMX operation.

So if the kernel is running in a hypervisor, we are in VMX non-root
operation and we should be safe to use PCID.
