John David Anglin 9ef0f88fe5 parisc: Handle case where flush_cache_range is called with no context
Just when I had decided that flush_cache_range() was always called with
a valid context, Helge reported two cases where the
"BUG_ON(!vma->vm_mm->context);" was hit on the phantom buildd:

This indicates that we need to handle the no context case in
flush_cache_range() as we do in flush_cache_mm().

In thinking about this, I realized that we don't need to flush the TLB
when there is no context.  So, I added context checks to the large flush
cases in flush_cache_mm() and flush_cache_range().  The large flush case
occurs frequently in flush_cache_mm() and the change should improve fork
performance.

The v2 version of this change removes the BUG_ON from flush_cache_page()
by skipping the TLB flush when there is no context.  I also added code
to flush the TLB in flush_cache_mm() and flush_cache_range() when we
have a context that's not current.  Now all three routines handle TLB
flushes in a similar manner.
