[RFC PATCH v1 1/2] arm64: tlbflush: Move invocation of __flush_tlb_range_op() to a macro

__flush_tlb_range_op() is a pre-processor macro that takes the TLBI
operation as a string, and builds the instruction from it. This prevents
passing the TLBI operation around as a variable. __flush_tlb_range_op()
also takes 7 other arguments.

Adding extra invocations for different TLB operations means duplicating
the whole thing, but those 7 extra arguments are the same each time.

Add an enum for the TLBI operations that __flush_tlb_range() uses, and a
macro to pass the operation name as a string to __flush_tlb_range_op(),
and the rest of the arguments using __VA_ARGS_.

The result is easier to add new TLBI operations to, and to modify any of
the other arguments as they only appear once.
