This series adds Cortex-A715 partnumber and workarounds the errata #2645198
which gets triggered when an userspace page mapping permission changes from
executable to non-executable, corrupting both ESR_EL1/FAR_EL1 registers
when an instruction abort is taken.

This series applies on v6.1-rc4.

The errata description can be found here.

Changes in V2:

- Added ptep_modify_prot_start/commit declaration into [asm/pgtable.h]
- Moved ptep_modify_prot_start/commit definitions into [arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c]
- Above code movements solved ptep_clear_flush() related build dependency
- Replaced __flush_tlb_range() with ptep_clear_flush()/huge_ptep_clear_flush()
