[ARM] 3352/1: DSB required for the completion of a TLB maintenance operation



Patch from Catalin Marinas

Chapter B2.7.3 in the latest ARM ARM (with v6 information) states that
the completion of a TLB maintenance operation is only guaranteed by
the execution of a DSB (Data Syncronization Barrier, formerly Data
Write Barrier or Drain Write Buffer).

Note that a DSB is only needed in the flush_tlb_kernel_* functions
since the completion is guaranteed by a mode change (i.e. switching
back to user mode) for the flush_tlb_user_* functions.
