    xen/page_alloc: Only flush the page to RAM once we know they are scrubbed
    
    At the moment, each page are flushed to RAM just after the allocator
    found some free pages. However, this is happening before check if the
    page was scrubbed.
    
    As a consequence, on Arm, a guest may be able to access the old content
    of the scrubbed pages if it has cache disabled (default at boot) and
    the content didn't reach the Point of Coherency.
    
    The flush is now moved after we know the content of the page will not
    change. This also has the benefit to reduce the amount of work happening
    with the heap_lock held.
    
    This is XSA-364.
    
    Fixes: 307c3be3ccb2 ("mm: Don't scrub pages while holding heap lock in 
alloc_heap_pages()")
