s390/mm: fix asce_bits handling with dynamic pagetable levels

There is a race with multi-threaded applications between context switch and
pagetable upgrade. In switch_mm() a new user_asce is built from mm->pgd and
mm->context.asce_bits, w/o holding any locks. A concurrent mmap with a
pagetable upgrade on another thread in crst_table_upgrade() could already
have set new asce_bits, but not yet the new mm->pgd. This would result in a
corrupt user_asce in switch_mm(), and eventually in a kernel panic from a
translation exception.

Fix this by storing the complete asce instead of just the asce_bits, which
can then be read atomically from switch_mm(), so that it either sees the
old value or the new value, but no mixture. Both cases are OK. Having the
old value would result in a page fault on access to the higher level memory,
but the fault handler would see the new mm->pgd, if it was a valid access
after the mmap on the other thread has completed. So as worst-case scenario
we would have a page fault loop for the racing thread until the next time
slice.

Also remove dead code and simplify the upgrade/downgrade path, there are no
upgrades from 2 levels, and only downgrades from 3 levels for compat tasks.
There are also no concurrent upgrades, because the mmap_sem is held with
down_write() in do_mmap, so the flush and table checks during upgrade can
be removed.
