[PATCH] Handle instruction cache maintenance fault properly

Between "clean D line..." and "invalidate I line" operations in
v7_coherent_user_range(), the memory page may get swapped out.
And the fault on "invalidate I line" could not be properly handled
causing the oops.

The patch adds the missing handling for "instruction cache
maintenance fault". Let's handle it as translation fault.
