arm64/mm: remove now-superfluous ISBs from TTBR writes
At the time of authoring 7655abb95386 ("arm64: mm: Move ASID from TTBR0
to TTBR1"), the Arm ARM did not specify any ordering guarantees for
direct writes to TTBR0_ELx and TTBR1_ELx and so an ISB was required
after each write to ensure TLBs would only be populated from the
expected (or reserved tables).
In a recent update to the Arm ARM, the requirements have been relaxed to
reflect the implementation of current CPUs and required implementation
of future CPUs to read (RDYDPX in D8.2.3 Translation table base address
register):
Direct writes to TTBR0_ELx and TTBR1_ELx occur in program order
relative to one another, without the need for explicit
synchronization. For any one translation, all indirect reads of
TTBR0_ELx and TTBR1_ELx that are made as part of the translation
observe only one point in that order of direct writes.
Remove the superfluous ISBs to optimize uaccess helpers and context
switch.
