arm64: errata: Work around early CME DVMSync acknowledgement

Browse source 
C1-Pro acknowledges DVMSync messages before completing the SME/CME
memory accesses. Work around this by issuing an IPI to the affected CPUs
if they are running in EL0 with SME enabled.

Note that we avoid the local DSB in the IPI handler as the kernel runs
with SCTLR_EL1.IESB=1. This is sufficient to complete SME memory
accesses at EL0 on taking an exception to EL1. On the return to user
path, no barrier is necessary either. See the comment in
sme_set_active() and the more detailed explanation in the link below.

To avoid a potential IPI flood from malicious applications (e.g.
madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) in a tight loop), track where a process is active
via mm_cpumask() and only interrupt those CPUs.
