parisc: Reorder TLB flush timing calculation
On boot (mostly reboot), my c8000 sometimes crashes after it prints the TLB flush threshold. The lockup is hard. The front LED flashes red and the box must be unplugged to reset the error. I noticed that when the crash occurs the TLB flush threshold is about one quarter what it is on a successful boot. If I disabled the calculation, the crash didn't occur. There also seemed to be a timing dependency affecting the crash. I finally realized that the flush_tlb_all() timing test runs just after the secondary CPUs are started. There seems to be a problem with running flush_tlb_all() too soon after the CPUs are started. The timing for the range test always seemed okay. So, I reversed the order of the two timing tests and I haven't had a crash at this point so far. I added a couple of information messages which I have left to help with diagnosis if the problem should appear on another machine. This version reduces the minimum TLB flush threshold to 16 KiB.
