selftests/powerpc: rfi_flush: disable entry flush if present
We are about to add an entry flush. The rfi (exit) flush test measures the number of L1D flushes over a syscall with the RFI flush enabled and disabled. But if the entry flush is also enabled, the effect of enabling and disabling the RFI flush is masked. If there is a debugfs entry for the entry flush, disable it during the RFI flush and restore it later.
