[PATCH v2 02/16] arm64: Do not enable uaccess for flush_icache_range

__flush_icache_range works on the kernel linear map, and doesn't
need uaccess. The existing code is a side-effect of its current
implementation with __flush_cache_user_range fallthrough.
Instead of fallthrough to share the code, use a common macro for
the two where the caller can specify whether user-space access is
needed.
No functional change intended.
Possible performance impact due to the reduced number of
instructions.
