arm64/mm: remove now-superfluous ISBs from TTBR writes
At the time of authoring 7655abb9 ("arm64: mm: Move ASID from TTBR0 to TTBR1"), the Arm ARM did not specify any ordering guarantees for direct writes to TTBR0_ELx and TTBR1_ELx and so an ISB was required after each write to ensure TLBs would only be populated from the expected (or reserved tables). In a recent update to the Arm ARM, the requirements have been relaxed to reflect the implementation of current CPUs and required implementation of future CPUs to read (RDYDPX in D8.2.3 Translation table base address register): Direct writes to TTBR0_ELx and TTBR1_ELx occur in program order relative to one another, without the need for explicit synchronization. For any one translation, all indirect reads of TTBR0_ELx and TTBR1_ELx that are made as part of the translation observe only one point in that order of direct writes. Remove the superfluous ISBs to optimize uaccess helpers and context switch.
