[PATCH v6 08/11] arm64: mm: Avoid TLBI when marking pages as valid

[Steven Price]

When __change_memory_common() is purely setting the valid bit on a PTE
(e.g. via the set_memory_valid() call) there is no need for a TLBI as
either the entry isn't changing (the valid bit was already set) or the
entry was invalid and so should not have been cached in the TLB.
