[RFC PATCH 1/4] KVM: arm64: Move the clean of dcache to the map handler

[Yanan Wang]

We currently uniformly clean dcache in user_mem_abort() before calling the
fault handlers, if we take a translation fault and the pfn is cacheable.
But if there are concurrent translation faults on the same page or block,
clean of dcache for the first time is necessary while the others are not.

By moving clean of dcache to the map handler, we can easily identify the
conditions where CMOs are really needed and avoid the unnecessary ones.
As it's a time consuming process to perform CMOs especially when flushing
a block range, so this solution reduces much load of kvm and improve the
efficiency of creating mappings.
