arm64: kpti: ensure patched kernel text is fetched from PoU

[ Upstream commit f32c7a8e ]

While the MMUs is disabled, I-cache speculation can result in
instructions being fetched from the PoC. During boot we may patch
instructions (e.g. for alternatives and jump labels), and these may be
dirty at the PoU (and stale at the PoC).

Thus, while the MMU is disabled in the KPTI pagetable fixup code we may
load stale instructions into the I-cache, potentially leading to
subsequent crashes when executing regions of code which have been
modified at runtime.

Similarly to commit:

  8ec41987 ("arm64: mm: ensure patched kernel text is fetched from PoU")

... we can invalidate the I-cache after enabling the MMU to prevent such
issues.

The KPTI pagetable fixup code itself should be clean to the PoC per the
boot protocol, so no maintenance is required for this code.
