Activate the RCU fast_gup for ARM64. We also need to force THP splits to
broadcast an IPI s.t. we block in the fast_gup page walker. As THP
splits are comparatively rare, this should not lead to a noticeable
performance degradation.
Some pre-requisite functions pud_write and pud_page are also added.

The __sync_icache_dcache routine will only flush the dcache for the
first page of a compound page, potentially leading to stale icache
data residing further on in a hugetlb page.
This patch addresses this issue by taking into consideration the
order of the page when flushing the dcache.

This function is only used in __sync_icache_dcache(), so remove it and
call __flush_dcache_area() directly. The flush_icache_user_range()
function is not used in the arm64 kernel.

The D-cache on AArch64 is VIPT non-aliasing, so there is no need to
flush it for anonymous pages.

The flush_dcache_page() function is called when the kernel modified a
page cache page. Since the D-cache on AArch64 does not have aliases
this function can simply mark the page as dirty for later flushing via
set_pte_at()/__sync_icache_dcache() if the page is executable (to ensure
the I-D cache coherency).

The patch adds functionality required for cache maintenance. The AArch64
architecture mandates non-aliasing VIPT or PIPT D-cache and VIPT (may
have aliases) or ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache. Cache maintenance operations
are automatically broadcast in hardware between CPUs.
