arm64: mm: Provide level hint for flush_tlb_page()
Previously tlb invalidations issued by __flush_tlb_page() did not
contain a level hint. From the core API documentation, this function is
clearly only ever intended to target level 3 (PTE) tlb entries:
| 4) ``void flush_tlb_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long addr)``
|
| This time we need to remove the PAGE_SIZE sized translation
| from the TLB.
However, the arm64 documentation is more relaxed allowing any last level:
| this operation only invalidates a single, last-level page-table
| entry and therefore does not affect any walk-caches
It turns out that the function was actually being used to invalidate a
level 2 mapping via flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault_pmd(). The bug was
benign because the level hint was not set so the HW would still
invalidate the PMD mapping, and also because the TLBF_NONOTIFY flag was
set, the bounds of the mapping were never used for anything else.
Now that we have the new and improved range-invalidation API, it is
trival to fix flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault_pmd() to explicitly flush the
whole range (locally, without notification and last level only). So
let's do that, and then update __flush_tlb_page() to hint level 3.
