arm64: errata: Add workaround for TSB flush failures
Arm Neoverse-N2 (#2067961) and Cortex-A710 (#2054223) suffers
from errata, where a TSB (trace synchronization barrier)
fails to flush the trace data completely, when executed from
a trace prohibited region. In Linux we always execute it
after we have moved the PE to trace prohibited region. So,
we can apply the workaround every time a TSB is executed.
The work around is to issue two TSB consecutively.
NOTE: This errata is defined as LOCAL_CPU_ERRATUM, implying
that a late CPU could be blocked from booting if it is the
first CPU that requires the workaround. This is because we
do not allow setting a cpu_hwcaps after the SMP boot. The
other alternative is to use "this_cpu_has_cap()" instead
of the faster system wide check, which may be a bit of an
overhead, given we may have to do this in nvhe KVM host
before a guest entry.
