Purge existing TLB entries in set_pte_at and ptep_set_wrprotect
commit 7139bc1579901b53db7e898789e916ee2fb52d78 upstream.
This patch goes a long way toward fixing the minifail bug, and
it significantly improves the stability of SMP machines such as
the rp3440. When write protecting a page for COW, we need to
purge the existing translation. Otherwise, the COW break
doesn't occur as expected because the TLB may still have a stale entry
which allows writes.
