Currently we copy the whole mm_context_t to the paca but only access a
few bits of it.  This is wasteful of space paca and also takes quite
some time in the hot path of context switching.

This patch pulls in only the required bits from the mm_context_t to
the paca and on context switch, copies only those.

Benchmarking this (On top of Anton's recent MSR context switching
changes [1]) using processes and yield shows an improvement of almost
3% on POWER8:
