Rik van Riel 5462bc3a9a x86/mm/tlb: Always use lazy TLB mode
On most workloads, the number of context switches far exceeds the
number of TLB flushes sent. Optimizing the context switches, by always
using lazy TLB mode, speeds up those workloads.

This patch results in about a 1% reduction in CPU use on a two socket
Broadwell system running a memcache like workload.
