[PATCH] optee: Disable shm cache when booting the crash kernel

The .shutdown hook is not called after a kernel crash when a kdump
kernel is pre-loaded. A kexec into the kdump kernel takes place as
quickly as possible without allowing drivers to clean up.

That means that the OP-TEE shared memory cache, which was initialized by
the kernel that crashed, is still in place when the kdump kernel is
booted. As the kdump kernel is shutdown, the .shutdown hook is called,
which calls optee_disable_shm_cache(), and OP-TEE's
OPTEE_SMC_DISABLE_SHM_CACHE API returns virtual addresses that are not
mapped for the kdump kernel since the cache was set up by the previous
kernel. Trying to dereference the tee_shm pointer or otherwise translate
the address results in a fault that cannot be handled:

When booting the kdump kernel, drain the shared memory cache while being
careful to not translate the addresses returned from
OPTEE_SMC_DISABLE_SHM_CACHE. Once the invalid cache objects are drained
and the cache is disabled, proceed with re-enabling the cache so that we
aren't dealing with invalid addresses while shutting down the kdump
kernel.

This patch fixes a crash introduced by "optee: fix tee out of memory
failure seen during kexec reboot"[1]. However, I don't think that the
original two patch series[2] plus this patch is the full solution to
properly handling OP-TEE shared memory across kexec.

While testing this fix, I did about 10 kexec reboots and then triggered
a kernel crash by writing 'c' to /proc/sysrq-trigger. The kdump kernel
became unresponsive during boot while steadily streaming the following
errors to the serial console:

arm-smmu 64000000.mmu: Blocked unknown Stream ID 0x2000; boot with "arm-smmu.disable_bypass=0" to allow, but this may have security implications
arm-smmu 64000000.mmu: GFSR 0x00000002, GFSYNR0 0x00000002, GFSYNR1 0x00002000, GFSYNR2 0x00000000

I suspect that this is related to the problems of OP-TEE shared memory
handling across kexec. My current hunch is that while we've disabled the
shared memory cache with this patch, we haven't unregistered all of the
addresses that the previous kernel (which crashed) had registered with
OP-TEE and that perhaps OP-TEE OS is still trying to make use those
addresses?

I'm still pretty early in investigating that assumption and
I'm learning about OP-TEE as I go but I wanted to get this initial
fix-of-the-fix out so that it was clear that the v2 of the series[2] is
not complete.
