arm64: Avoid flush_icache_range() in alternatives patching code
The implementation of flush_icache_range() includes instruction sequences which are themselves patched at runtime, so it is not safe to call from the patching framework. This patch reworks the alternatives cache-flushing code so that it rolls its own internal D-cache maintenance using DC CIVAC before invalidating the entire I-cache after all alternatives have been applied at boot. Modules don't cause any issues, since flush_icache_range() is safe to call by the time they are loaded.
