parisc: fixes and cleanups in page cache flushing (3/4)
flush_cache_mm, for the non current case also uses flush_dcache_page_asm
and flush_icache_page_asm which are TMPALIAS flushes.
For the non current case, the algorithm used by get_ptep is derived from the
vmalloc_to_page implementation in vmalloc.c. It is essentially a generic page
table lookup. The other alternative was to duplicate the lookup in entry.S.
The break point for switching to a full cache flush is somewhat arbitrary. The
same approach is used in flush_cache_range for non current case. In a GCC
build and check, many small programs are executed and this change provided a
significant performance enhancement, e.g. GCC build time was cut almost in half
on a rp3440 at j4. Previously, we always flushed the entire cache.
