[PATCH] ARM: kexec: Fix panic after TLB are invalidated

[Giancarlo Ferrari]

machine_kexec() need to set rw permission in text and rodata sections
to assign some variables (e.g. kexec_start_address). To do that at
the end (after flushing pdm in memory, etc.) it needs to invalidate
TLB [section] entries.

If during the TLB invalidation an interrupt occours, which might cause
a context switch, there is the risk to inject invalid TLBs, with ro
permissions.

When trying to assign .text labels, this lead to the following:

 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 80112f38
 pgd = fd7ef03e
 [80112f38] *pgd=0001141e(bad)
 Internal error: Oops: 80d [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
