[ARM] 3762/1: Fix ptrace cache coherency bug for ARM1136 VIPT nonaliasing Harvard caches

Patch from George G. Davis

Resolve ARM1136 VIPT non-aliasing cache coherency issues observed when
using ptrace to set breakpoints and cleanup copy_{to,from}_user_page()
while we're here as requested by Russell King because "it's also far
too heavy on non-v6 CPUs".

NOTES:

1. Only access_process_vm() calls copy_{to,from}_user_page().
2. access_process_vm() calls get_user_pages() to pin down the "page".
3. get_user_pages() calls flush_dcache_page(page) which ensures cache
   coherency between kernel and userspace mappings of "page".  However
   flush_dcache_page(page) may not invalidate I-Cache over this range
   for all cases, specifically, I-Cache is not invalidated for the VIPT
   non-aliasing case.  So memory is consistent between kernel and user
   space mappings of "page" but I-Cache may still be hot over this
   range.  IOW, we don't have to worry about flush_cache_page() before
   memcpy().
4. Now, for the copy_to_user_page() case, after memcpy(), we must flush
   the caches so memory is consistent with kernel cache entries and
   invalidate the I-Cache if this mm region is executable.  We don't
   need to do anything after memcpy() for the copy_from_user_page()
   case since kernel cache entries will be invalidated via the same
   process above if we access "page" again.  The flush_ptrace_access()
   function (borrowed from SPARC64 implementation) is added to handle
   cache flushing after memcpy() for the copy_to_user_page() case.
