Subject: sparc64: combine activate_mm and switch_mm

From: Pavel Tatashin <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 14d0334c6748ff2aedb3f2f7fdc51ee90a9b54e7 ]

The only difference between these two functions is that in activate_mm we unconditionally flush context. However, there is no need to keep this difference after fixing a bug where cpumask was not reset on a wrap. So, in this patch we combine these.
