We used to emit a flush_icache_all() whenever a dirty executable
mapping is set in the page table but we can instead call
flush_icache_mm() which will only send IPIs to cores that currently run
this mm and add a deferred icache flush to the others.
The number of calls to sbi_remote_fence_i() (tested without IPI
support):
With a simple buildroot rootfs:
* Before: ~5k
* After : 4 (!)
Tested on HW, the boot to login is ~4.5% faster.
With an ubuntu rootfs:
* Before: ~24k
* After : ~13k

As very well explained in commit 20a004e7b0 ("arm64: mm: Use
READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE when accessing page tables"), an architecture whose
page table walker can modify the PTE in parallel must use
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() macro to avoid any compiler transformation.
So apply that to riscv which is such architecture.

When THP is enabled, 4K pages are collapsed into a single huge
page using the generic pmdp_collapse_flush() which will further
use flush_tlb_range() to shoot-down stale TLB entries. Unfortunately,
the generic pmdp_collapse_flush() only invalidates cached leaf PTEs
using address specific SFENCEs which results in repetitive (or
unpredictable) page faults on RISC-V implementations which cache
non-leaf PTEs.
Provide a RISC-V specific pmdp_collapse_flush() which ensures both
cached leaf and non-leaf PTEs are invalidated by using non-address
specific SFENCEs as recommended by the RISC-V privileged specification.

This sets the HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP option, and defines the required page
table functions. With this feature, ioremap area will be mapped with
huge page granularity according to its actual size. This feature can be
disabled by kernel parameter "nohugeiomap".
