nit: 0 was always valid. It just didn't indicate any level.

Is this still true? This patch changes __TLBI_VADDR_RANGE() and co.

I find this value somehow confusing, as it represent an actual level
number. It just happen to be one that cannot be provided as a TTL. So
having that as a return value from tlb_get_level() isn't great, and
I'd rather have something that cannot be mistaken for a valid level.

It feels like this range stuff would be better located in the second
patch. Not a huge deal though.
