Subject: [PATCH v10 07/18] arm64: mm: Always update TCR_EL1 from __cpu_set_tcr_t0sz()

From: James Morse <james.morse@....com>

Because only the idmap sets a non-standard T0SZ, __cpu_set_tcr_t0sz()
can check for platforms that need to do this using
__cpu_uses_extended_idmap() before doing its work.

The idmap is only built with enough levels, (and T0SZ bits) to map
its single page.

To allow hibernate, and then kexec to idmap their single page copy
routines, __cpu_set_tcr_t0sz() needs to consider additional users,
who may need a different number of levels/T0SZ-bits to the idmap.
(i.e. VA_BITS may be enough for the idmap, but not hibernate/kexec)

Always read TCR_EL1, and check whether any work needs doing for
this request. __cpu_uses_extended_idmap() remains as it is used
by KVM, whose idmap is also part of the kernel image.

This mostly affects the cpuidle path, where we now get an extra
system register read .
