[PATCH][RESEND] arm: Fix flush_dcache_page() for usage from irq context

[PATCH][RESEND] arm: Fix flush_dcache_page() for usage from irq context

[Helge Deller]

Since at least kernel 6.1, flush_dcache_page() is called with IRQs
disabled, e.g. from aio_complete().

But the current implementation for flush_dcache_page() on ARM (32-bit)
unintentionally re-enables IRQs, which may lead to deadlocks.

Fix it by using xa_lock_irqsave() and xa_unlock_irqrestore()
for the flush_dcache_mmap_*lock() macros instead.
