Two fixes to D-cache alias flushing on sparc64 CPUs with a virtually
indexed L1 D-cache.

Patch 1 makes move_pte() and tlb_batch_add() flush only the page a PTE
maps, instead of every page of its folio once per PTE, so the number
of cross-calls for an mremap() of a large folio no longer grows with
the square of its size.

Patch 2 implements flush_cache_vmap() and flush_cache_vunmap(), which
have been no-ops on sparc64.  Stale lines left by a vmalloc mapping
corrupt BPF programs and module data on UltraSPARC III.  It uses
flush_dcache_page_all() as patch 1 restores it.

Both patches are tagged for stable.  Tested on a Sun Ultra 45.

Changes in v2:
- Patch 2: flush_cache_vmap() also runs on the vmemmap, from
  sparse_init() before init_IRQ() sets up the cross-call mondo
  blocks; skip addresses outside vmalloc and module space, since the
  vmemmap has no aliases to flush.  Picked up Stian Halseth's
  Tested-by.

  sparc64: flush vmalloc ranges from the D-cache on map and unmap

Since the conversion to folios, move_pte() and tlb_batch_add() flush the
D-cache of every page in the folio a single PTE maps.  Both run once per
PTE, so moving or unmapping a range backed by a large folio flushes each
of its pages once for every PTE of that folio, and each page flush is a
cross-call to all other online CPUs.

Only the page the PTE maps can hold lines at the old colour, so flush
just that page, as before the conversion.  flush_dcache_folio_all() has
no other users and becomes flush_dcache_page_all() again.

On SMP QEMU guests, apt rebuilding its caches through mremap() triggers
RCU stalls and soft lockups in move_pte().

Fixes: 1a10a44dfc1d ("sparc64: implement the new page table range API")

The L1 D-cache of Spitfire and Cheetah is indexed with VA bit 13, but
flush_cache_vmap() and flush_cache_vunmap() are no-ops. Lines loaded
through a vmalloc address survive the unmap, and once the page is
written through the other colour, e.g. zeroed through the linear
mapping, a later mapping of the old colour reads stale data. Anonymous
user pages arrive the same way, as tlb_batch_add() does not flush them.
On UltraSPARC III this corrupts BPF programs and module data.

Flush each page on every CPU on map and unmap, or the whole D-cache in
one cross call once the range exceeds its size.

flush_cache_vmap() also runs on the vmemmap, from sparse_init() before
init_IRQ() sets up the cross-call mondo blocks; with the mondo block PA
still zero, flush_dcache_all()'s cross-call lands on physical address 0
instead. The vmemmap has no aliases to flush, so skip addresses outside
vmalloc and module space.
