Commit b8bcfe997e made paravirt pte updates synchronous in interrupt
context.
Unfortunately the KVM pv mmu code caches the lazy/nonlazy mode
internally, so a pte update from interrupt context during a lazy mmu
operation can be batched while it should be performed synchronously.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518022
Drop the internal mode variable and use paravirt_get_lazy_mode(), which
returns the correct state.

The function paravirt_ops_setup() has been refering the
variable no_timer_check, which is a __initdata. Thus generates
the following warning. paravirt_ops_setup() function is called
from kvm_guest_init() which is a __init function. So to fix
this we mark paravirt_ops_setup as __init.
The sections-check output that warned us about this was:
LD arch/x86/built-in.o
WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.text+0x166ce): Section mismatch in
reference from the function paravirt_ops_setup() to the variable
.init.data:no_timer_check
The function paravirt_ops_setup() references
the variable __initdata no_timer_check.
This is often because paravirt_ops_setup lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of no_timer_check is wrong.

Impact: allow preemption during lazy mmu updates
If we're in lazy mmu mode when context switching, leave
lazy mmu mode, but remember the task's state in
TIF_LAZY_MMU_UPDATES. When we resume the task, check this
flag and re-enter lazy mmu mode if its set.
This sets things up for allowing lazy mmu mode while preemptible,
though that won't actually be active until the next change.

This patch changes the pfn args from 'u32' to 'unsigned long'
on alloc_p*() functions on paravirt_ops, and the corresponding
implementations for Xen and VMI. The prototypes for CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n
are already using unsigned long, so paravirt.h now matches the prototypes
on asm-x86/pgalloc.h.
It shouldn't result in any changes on generated code on 32-bit, with
or without CONFIG_PARAVIRT. On both cases, 'codiff -f' didn't show any
change after applying this patch.
On 64-bit, there are (expected) binary changes only when CONFIG_PARAVIRT
is enabled, as the patch is really supposed to change the size of the
pfn args.

Hypercall based pte updates are faster than faults, and also allow use
of the lazy MMU mode to batch operations.
Don't report the feature if two dimensional paging is enabled.
