Or we can avoid returning a value from the helper and avoid passing an
mm. The callers would be more verbose, they'll have to call
mm_lam_cr3_mask() and mm_untag_mask() and pass the results into the
helper (set_tlbstate_lam_mode() or update_cpu_tlbstate_lam()). Another
advantage of this is that we can move the READ_ONCE to
switch_mm_irqs_off() and keep the comment here.

WDYT?
