    xen/arm64: head: Add missing isb in setup_fixmap()
    
    On older version of the Arm Arm (ARM DDI 0487E.a, B2-125) there were
    the following paragraph:
    
    "DMB and DSB instructions affect reads and writes to the memory system
    generated by Load/Store instructions and data or unified cache
    maintenance instructions being executed by the PE. Instruction fetches
    or accesses caused by a hardware translation table access are not
    explicit accesses."
    
    Newer revision (e.g. ARM DDI 0487J.a) doesn't have the second sentence
    (it might be somewhere else in the Arm Arm). But the interpretation is
    not much different.
    
    In setup_fixmap(), we write the fixmap area and may be used soon after,
    for instance, to write to the UART. IOW, there could be hardware
    translation table access. So we need to ensure the 'dsb' has completed
    before continuing. Therefore add an 'isb'.
    
    Fixes: 2b11c3646105 ("xen/arm64: head: Remove 1:1 mapping as soon as it is 
not used")
