arm64: avoid TLB conflict with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE
When CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is selected, we modify the page tables to remap the kernel at a newly-chosen VA range. We do this with the MMU disabled, but do not invalidate TLBs prior to re-enabling the MMU with the new tables. Thus the old mappings entries may still live in TLBs, and we risk violating Break-Before-Make requirements, leading to TLB conflicts and/or other issues. We invalidate TLBs when we uninsall the idmap in early setup code, but prior to this we are subject to issues relating to the Break-Before-Make violation. Avoid these issues by invalidating the TLBs before the new mappings can be used by the hardware.
