Subject: [PATCH v5 4/6] KVM: arm64: Provide invalidate_icache_range at non-VHE EL2

We want to move I-cache maintenance for the guest to the stage-2
page table code for performance improvement. Before it can work,
we should first make function invalidate_icache_range available
to non-VHE EL2 to avoid compiling or program running error, as
pgtable.c is now linked into the non-VHE EL2 code for pKVM mode.

In this patch, we only introduce symbol of invalidate_icache_range
with no real functionality in nvhe/cache.S, because there haven't
been situations found currently where I-cache maintenance is also
needed in non-VHE EL2 for pKVM mode.
