[PATCH v6 08/13] riscv: Avoid TLB flush loops when affected by SiFive CIP-1200

Implementations affected by SiFive errata CIP-1200 have a bug which
forces the kernel to always use the global variant of the sfence.vma
instruction. When affected by this errata, do not attempt to flush a
range of addresses; each iteration of the loop would actually flush the
whole TLB instead. Instead, minimize the overall number of sfence.vma
instructions.
