[PATCH v2 3/5] ARM: KVM: relax cache maintainance when building page tables

[Marc Zyngier]

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 already done),
and actually not required if running on a SMP capable platform
(the HW PTW can snoop other cpus' L1).

Remove this code and let ae8a8b9553bd (ARM: 7691/1: mm: kill unused
TLB_CAN_READ_FROM_L1_CACHE and use ALT_SMP instead) turn it into
a no-op for SMP ARMv7.
