[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 31/43] sched/membarrier: Call sync_core only before usermode for same mm

[ Upstream commit 2840cf02fae627860156737e83326df354ee4ec6 ]

When the prev and next task's mm change, switch_mm() provides the core
serializing guarantees before returning to usermode. The only case
where an explicit core serialization is needed is when the scheduler
keeps the same mm for prev and next.
