[PATCH 1/2] arm64: fix unnecessary tlb flushes

The __cpu_flush_user_tlb_range() and __cpu_flush_user_tlb_range()
functions loop through an address range by page to flush tlb entries.
However, these functions assume a 4K page size. If the kernel is
configured for 64k page sizes, these functions would execute the
tlbi instruction 16 times per page rather than once. This patch
uses the PAGE_SHIFT definition to ensure one tlb flush for any
given page in the range.
