Subject: [PATCH 2/2] MIPS: Flush highmem pages from dcache in __flush_icache_page

When a page is to be mapped executable for userspace, we can presume
that the icache doesn't contain anything valid for its address range but
we cannot be sure that its content has been written back from the dcache
to L2 or memory further out. If the icache fills from those memories,
ie. does not fill from the dcache, then we need to ensure that content
has been flushed from the dcache. This was being done for lowmem pages
but not for highmem pages. Fix this by mapping the page & flushing its
content from the dcache in __flush_icache_page, before the page is
provided to userland.
