We currently set a TIF flag when scheduling out a task that is in lazy MMU mode, in order to restore it when the task is scheduled again. The generic lazy_mmu layer now tracks whether a task is in lazy MMU mode in task_struct::lazy_mmu_state. We can therefore check that state when switching to the new task, instead of using a separate TIF flag.
