To be consistent with other functions with similar names and
functionality in cacheflush.h, cache.S, and cachetlb.rst, change
to specify the range in terms of start and end, as opposed to
start and size.

No functional change intended.

The comment describing the macro dcache_by_line_op is placed
right before the previous macro of the one it describes, which is
a bit confusing. Move it to the macro it describes (dcache_by_line_op).

No functional change intended.

It would be helpful if we could use both `dcache_by_line_op` and
`invalidate_icache_by_line` for user memory without accidentally fixing
up unexpected faults when performing maintenance on kernel addresses.

Let's make this possible by having both macros take an optional fixup
label, and only generating an extable entry if a label is provided.

At the same time, let's clean up the labels used to be globally unique
using \@ as we do for other macros.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>arm64: assembler: replace `kaddr` with `addr`</title>

<id>e89d6cc51034998607502cd3899173bfa7189571</id>
<content type='text'>
The `__dcache_op_workaround_clean_cache` and `dcache_by_line_op` macros
are only expected to be usedc on kernel memory, without a user fault
fixup, and so we named their address variables `kaddr` to make this
clear.

Subseuqent patches will modify these to also work on user memory with an
(optional) user fault fixup, where `kaddr` won't make as much sense. To
aid the legibility of patches, this patch (only) replaces `kaddr` with
`addr` as a preparatory step.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>arm64: fpsimd: run kernel mode NEON with softirqs disabled</title>

Kernel mode NEON can be used in task or softirq context, but only in
a non-nesting manner, i.e., softirq context is only permitted if the
interrupt was not taken at a point where the kernel was using the NEON
in task context.

This means all users of kernel mode NEON have to be aware of this
limitation, and either need to provide scalar fallbacks that may be much
slower (up to 20x for AES instructions) and potentially less safe, or
use an asynchronous interface that defers processing to a later time
when the NEON is guaranteed to be available.

Given that grabbing and releasing the NEON is cheap, we can relax this
restriction, by increasing the granularity of kernel mode NEON code, and
always disabling softirq processing while the NEON is being used in task
context.
