kernel - Fix pmap->pm_active race in switch code
* Use an atomic cmpxchg to set the cpu bit in the pmap->pm_active bitmap
AND test the pmap interlock bit at the same time, instead of testing
the interlock bit afterwords.
* In addition, if we find the lock bit set and must spin-wait for it to
clear, we skip the %cr3 comparison check and unconditionally load %cr3.
* It is unclear if the race could be realized in any way. It was probably
not responsible for the seg-fault issue as prior tests with an unconditional
load of %cr3 did not fix the problem. Plus in the same-%cr3-as-last-thread
case the cpu bit is already set so there should be no possibility of
losing a TLB interlock IPI (and %cr3 is loaded unconditionally when it
doesn't match, so....).
But fix the race anyway.
