mm: add a call to flush_cache_vmap() in vmap_pfn()
commit
a50420c79731fc5cf27ad43719c1091e842a2606 upstream.
flush_cache_vmap() must be called after new vmalloc mappings are installed
in the page table in order to allow architectures to make sure the new
mapping is visible.
It could lead to a panic since on some architectures (like powerpc),
the page table walker could see the wrong pte value and trigger a
spurious page fault that can not be resolved (see commit
f1cb8f9beba8
("powerpc/64s/radix: avoid ptesync after set_pte and
ptep_set_access_flags")).
But actually the patch is aiming at riscv: the riscv specification
allows the caching of invalid entries in the TLB, and since we recently
removed the vmalloc page fault handling, we now need to emit a tlb
shootdown whenever a new vmalloc mapping is emitted

That's a temporary solution, there are ways to avoid that :)
