alpha: only use a targeted tbi() when the target mm is really current

ipi_flush_tlb_page() gates a targeted tbi() on current->active_mm.
tbi() acts on the address space context currently loaded on the CPU, so
it is only guaranteed to reach an mm's translations when a thread of
that mm is running there. current->active_mm is not sufficient: under
lazy TLB an idle or kernel task keeps an mm as its active_mm while a
different ASN is loaded, so the invalidate is issued against the wrong
context and the stale entry can survive. Nothing retires the old ASN
afterwards either, mm->context[cpu] still being valid, so the resuming
thread can reuse it.

Test current->mm instead and otherwise fall back to flush_tlb_other(),
which clears mm->context[cpu] and forces a fresh ASN at the next switch
whatever is loaded now.

For an mm borrowed through kthread_use_mm(), patch 1 of this series
installs the context before the task can take a shootdown IPI. The
current->mm test therefore covers that case as well.
