[PATCH v4 4/6] arm: Add icache invalidation on switch_mm for Cortex-A15

In order to avoid aliasing attacks against the branch predictor,
Cortex-A15 require to invalidate the BTB when switching
from one user context to another. The only way to do so on this
CPU is to perform an ICIALLU, having set ACTLR[0] to 1 from secure
mode.
