Patch 5a677ce044f1 (ARM: KVM: switch to a dual-step HYP init code)
introduced code that flushes page tables to the point of coherency.
This is overkill (point of unification is enough), and actually
not required if running on a SMP capable platform.
Change this code to use clean_dcache_area(), which is updated by
ae8a8b9553bd (ARM: 7691/1: mm: kill unused TLB_CAN_READ_FROM_L1_CACHE
and use ALT_SMP instead) to behave as a no-op on SMP ARMv7.
