commit 439e70e27a51 upstream.

The identity map is mapped as both writeable and executable by the
SWAPPER_MM_MMUFLAGS and this is relied upon by the kpti code to manage
a synchronisation flag. Update the .pushsection flags to reflect the
actual mapping attributes.

Commit 68234df4ea79 ("arm64: kill flush_cache_all()") removed the global
arm64 routines cpu_reset() and cpu_soft_restart() needed by the arm64
kexec and kdump support.  Add back a simplified version of
cpu_soft_restart() with some changes needed for kexec in the new files
cpu_reset.S, and cpu_reset.h.

When a CPU is reset it needs to be put into the exception level it had when
it entered the kernel. Update cpu_soft_restart() to accept an argument
which signals if the reset address should be entered at EL1 or EL2, and
add a new hypercall HVC_SOFT_RESTART which is used for the EL2 switch.
