powerpc: Use mm_context vas_windows counter to issue CP_ABORT
set_thread_uses_vas() sets used_vas flag for a process that opened VAS window and issue CP_ABORT during context switch for only that process. In multi-thread application, windows can be shared. For example Thread A can open a window and Thread B can run COPY/PASTE instructions to send NX request which may cause corruption or snooping or a covert channel Also once this flag is set, continue to run CP_ABORT even the VAS window is closed. So define vas-windows counter in process mm_context, increment this counter for each window open and decrement it for window close. If vas-windows is set, issue CP_ABORT during context switch. It means clear the foreign real address mapping only if the process / thread uses COPY/PASTE. Then disable it for that process if windows are not open. Moved set_thread_uses_vas() code to vas_tx_win_open() as this functionality is needed only for userspace open windows. We are adding VAS userspace support along with this fix. So no need to include this fix in stable releases.
