Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] lazy tlb: introduce lazy mm refcount helper functions

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2020 16:53:08 +1000

Add explicit _lazy_tlb annotated functions for lazy mm refcounting.
This makes things a bit more explicit, and allows explicit refcounting
to be removed if it is not used.
