MIPS: mm: Rewrite TLB uniquification for the hidden bit feature

Before the introduction of the EHINV feature, which lets software mark
TLB entries invalid, certain older implementations of the MIPS ISA were
equipped with an analogous bit, as a vendor extension, which however is
hidden from software and only ever set at reset, and then any software
write clears it, making the intended TLB entry valid.

This feature makes it unsafe to read a TLB entry with TLBR, modify the
page mask, and write the entry back with TLBWI, because this operation
will implicitly clear the hidden bit and this may create a duplicate
entry, as with the presence of the hidden bit there is no guarantee all
the entries across the TLB are unique each.

Usually the firmware has already uniquified TLB entries before handing
control over, in which case we only need to guarantee at bootstrap no
clash will happen with the VPN2 values chosen in local_flush_tlb_all().

However with systems such as Mikrotik RB532 we get handed the TLB as at
reset, with the hidden bit set across the entries and possibly duplicate
entries present.  This then causes a machine check exception when page
sizes are reset in r4k_tlb_uniquify() and prevents the system from
booting.

Rewrite the algorithm used in r4k_tlb_uniquify() then such as to avoid
the reuse of ASID/VPN values across the TLB.  Get rid of global entries
first as they may be blocking the entire address space, e.g. 16 256MiB
pages will exhaust the whole address space of a 32-bit CPU and a single
big page can exhaust the 32-bit compatibility space on a 64-bit CPU.

Details of the algorithm chosen are given across the code itself.
