[ALT-PATCH v3 9/10] PM / Hibernate: Call flush_icache_range() on pages restored in-place

Some architectures require code written to memory as if it were data to be
'cleaned' from any data caches before the processor can fetch them as new
instructions.

During resume from hibernate, the snapshot code copies some pages directly,
meaning these architectures do not get a chance to perform their cache
maintenance. Modify the read and decompress code to call
flush_icache_range() on all pages that are restored, so that the restored
in-place pages are guaranteed to be executable on these architectures.

Hi,

This is an alternative version of 9/10 [0] requested by Pavel. It isn't
possible to know which pages are being restored in place, so this code
cleans all the pages restored. This is unnecessary 99.95% of the time,
as the pages will be copied (and cleaned again) by arch code walking
restore_pblist.

I may be being over-cautions, but this looks like it will have the most
impact on powerpc, where the cache will be cleaned to memory, a page at
a time.

Patch 10/10 of the series won't build with this 9/10, I will repost the
series if we chose to use this version.
