2322c78f90 riscv: Fixup race condition on PG_dcache_clean in flush_icache_pte
commit 950b879b7f upstream.

In commit 588a513d34 ("arm64: Fix race condition on PG_dcache_clean
in __sync_icache_dcache()"), we found RISC-V has the same issue as the
previous arm64. The previous implementation didn't guarantee the correct
sequence of operations, which means flush_icache_all() hasn't been
called when the PG_dcache_clean was set. That would cause a risk of page
synchronization.

08f051eda3 RISC-V: Flush I$ when making a dirty page executable
The RISC-V ISA allows for instruction caches that are not coherent WRT
stores, even on a single hart.  As a result, we need to explicitly flush
the instruction cache whenever marking a dirty page as executable in
order to preserve the correct system behavior.

Local instruction caches aren't that scary (our implementations actually
flush the cache, but RISC-V is defined to allow higher-performance
implementations to exist), but RISC-V defines no way to perform an
instruction cache shootdown.  When explicitly asked to do so we can
shoot down remote instruction caches via an IPI, but this is a bit on
the slow side.

Instead of requiring an IPI to all harts whenever marking a page as
executable, we simply flush the currently running harts.  In order to
maintain correct behavior, we additionally mark every other hart as
needing a deferred instruction cache which will be taken before anything
runs on it.
