arm64: fix KASLR boot-time I-cache maintenance
Commit f80fb3a3d50843a4 ("arm64: add support for kernel ASLR") missed a
DSB necessary to complete I-cache maintenance in the primary boot path,
and hence stale instructions may still be present in the I-cache and may
be executed until the I-cache maintenance naturally completes.
Since commit 8ec41987436d566f ("arm64: mm: ensure patched kernel text is
fetched from PoU"), all CPUs invalidate their I-caches after their MMU
is enabled. Prior a CPU's MMU having been enabled, arbitrary lines may
have been fetched from the PoC into I-caches. We never patch text
expected to be executed with the MMU off. Thus, it is unnecessary to
perform broadcast I-cache maintenance in the primary boot path.
This patch reduces the scope of the I-cache maintenance to the local
CPU, and adds the missing DSB with similar scope, matching prior
maintenance in the primary boot path.
