[PATCH v3] arm64: Add workaround for Cavium erratum 27456

From: Andrew Pinski <apinski at cavium.com>

On ThunderX T88 pass 1.x through 2.1 parts, broadcast TLBI
instructions may cause the icache to become corrupted if it contains
data for a non-current ASID.

This patch implements the workaround (which flushes the local icache
when switching the mm) by using code patching.
