Fix errata 411920

Catalin,

According to my reading of this errata, any "invalidate entire instruction
cache" operation can fail.  I'm not sure why the work-around is just
implemented for some of these operations, and not others.

Here's a patch which addresses the remaining operations.  Note that
the arch/arm/mm/context.c one is weird - it's flushing the BTB
twice - once using "c7, c5, 0" and again with "c7, c5, 6".  Is there
a a reason for this?
