[PATCH bpf-next 0/2] bpf, arm64/riscv: Remove redundant icache flush after pack allocator finalize

[Puranjay Mohan <puranjay@kernel.org>]

When the BPF prog pack allocator was added for arm64 and riscv, the
existing bpf_flush_icache() calls were retained after
bpf_jit_binary_pack_finalize(). However, the finalize path copies the
JITed code via architecture text patching routines (__text_poke on arm64,
patch_text_nosync on riscv) that already perform a full
flush_icache_range() internally. The subsequent bpf_flush_icache()
repeats the same cache maintenance on the same range.

Remove the redundant flush and the now-unused bpf_flush_icache()
definitions on both architectures.
