Remove the end address checking for flushda function. We need to flush
each address line for flushda instruction, from start to end address.
This is because flushda instruction only flush the cache if tag and line
fields are matched.

Change to use ldwio instruction (bypass cache) to load the instruction
that causing trap. Our interest is the actual instruction that executed
by the processor, this should be uncached.
Note, EA address might be an userspace cached address.

Nothing needs the module pointer any more, and the next patch will
call it from RCU, where the module itself might no longer exist.
Removing the arg is the safest approach.

This just codifies the use of the module_alloc/module_free pattern
which ftrace and bpf use.

Follow aa0d53260596 ("ia64: Use preempt_schedule_irq") and use
preempt_schedule_irq instead of enabling/disabling interrupts and
messing around with PREEMPT_ACTIVE in the nios2 low-level preemption
code ourselves. Also get rid of the now needless re-check for
TIF_NEED_RESCHED, preempt_schedule_irq will already take care of
rescheduling.

This also fixes the following build error when building with
CONFIG_PREEMPT:

arch/nios2/kernel/built-in.o: In function `need_resched':
arch/nios2/kernel/entry.S:374: undefined reference to `PREEMPT_ACTIVE'
