Subject: [PATCH 4.9 032/101] arm64: mm: Ensure writes to swapper are ordered wrt subsequent cache maintenance

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@....com>

commit 71c8fc0c96abf8e53e74ed4d891d671e585f9076 upstream.

When rewriting swapper using nG mappings, we must performance cache
maintenance around each page table access in order to avoid coherency
problems with the host's cacheable alias under KVM. To ensure correct
ordering of the maintenance with respect to Device memory accesses made
with the Stage-1 MMU disabled, DMBs need to be added between the
maintenance and the corresponding memory access.

This patch adds a missing DMB between writing a new page table entry and
performing a clean+invalidate on the same line.
