arm64: errata: Workaround possible Cortex-A715 [ESR|FAR]_ELx corruption

If a Cortex-A715 cpu sees a page mapping permissions change from executable
to non-executable, it may corrupt the ESR_ELx and FAR_ELx registers, on the
next instruction abort caused by permission fault.

Only user-space does executable to non-executable permission transition via
mprotect() system call which calls ptep_modify_prot_start() and ptep_modify
_prot_commit() helpers, while changing the page mapping. The platform code
can override these helpers via __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_MODIFY_PROT_TRANSACTION.

Work around the problem via doing a break-before-make TLB invalidation, for
all executable user space mappings, that go through mprotect() system call.
This overrides ptep_modify_prot_start() and ptep_modify_prot_commit(), via
defining HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_MODIFY_PROT_TRANSACTION on the platform thus giving
an opportunity to intercept user space exec mappings, and do the necessary
TLB invalidation. Similar interceptions are also implemented for HugeTLB.
