We should not use ASID #0 and always mark it as used in ASID bitmap
just like v1 patch.

The asids_init() is called only on boot CPU (or boot HART) so it is better
to set ASID all 1s in asids_init() only to determine number of HW ASID
bits. We should also do local_flush_tlb_all() after determining HW ASID
bits so that TLB on boot CPU comes to sain state.

This way we don't have to worrry about cleaning up TLBs of other CPUs
when we are not going to use ASID allocator.

I will update the patch accordingly.
