x86/mm: Remove the mm_cpumask(prev) warning from switch_mm_irqs_off()

The CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y warning in switch_mm_irqs_off() started
triggering in testing:

	VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(prev != &init_mm && !cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(prev)));

AFAIU what happens is that unuse_temporary_mm() clears the mm_cpumask()
for the current CPU, while switch_mm_irqs_off() then checks that the
mm_cpumask() bit is set for the current CPU.

While this behaviour hasn't really changed since the following commit:

  209954cbc7d0 ("x86/mm/tlb: Update mm_cpumask lazily")

introduced both, but the warning is wrong, so remove it.
