Add a module param, flush_on_reuse, to override skip_tlb_flush and skip_mmu_sync when performing a so called "fast cr3 switch", i.e. when reusing a cached root. The primary motiviation for the control is to provide a fallback mechanism in the event that TLB flushing and/or MMU sync bugs are exposed/introduced by upcoming changes to stop unconditionally flushing on nested VMX transitions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
