csky: mmu: Prevent spurious page faults

C-SKY MMU would pre-fetch invalid pte entries, and it could work with
flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault, but the additional page fault exceptions
would reduce performance. So flushing the entry of the TLB would prevent
the following spurious page faults. Here is the test code:

define DATA_LEN  4096
define COPY_NUM  (504*100)

unsigned char src[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};
unsigned char dst[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};

unsigned char func_src[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};
unsigned char func_dst[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};

void main(void)
{
	int j;
	for (j = 0; j < COPY_NUM; j++)
		memcpy(&dst[j*DATA_LEN], &src[j*DATA_LEN], 4);
}

perf stat -e page-faults ./main.elf

The amount of page fault traps would be reduced in half with the patch.
