[PATCH v5 4/9] arm64: hugetlb: Add break-before-make logic for contiguous entries

From: Steve Capper <steve.capper at arm.com>

It has become apparent that one has to take special care when modifying
attributes of memory mappings that employ the contiguous bit.

Both the requirement and the architecturally correct "Break-Before-Make"
technique of updating contiguous entries can be found described in:
ARM DDI 0487A.k_iss10775, "Misprogramming of the Contiguous bit",
page D4-1762.

The huge pte accessors currently replace the attributes of contiguous
pte entries in place thus can, on certain platforms, lead to TLB
conflict aborts or even erroneous results returned from TLB lookups.

This patch adds a helper function get_clear_flush(.) that clears a
contiguous entry and returns the head pte (whilst taking care to
retain dirty bit information that could have been modified by DBM).
A tlb invalidate is performed to then ensure that there is no
possibility of multiple tlb entries being present for the same
region.
