[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/7] xen/arm: Remove flush_xen_text_tlb_local()

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxx>]

The function flush_xen_text_tlb_local() has been misused and will result
to invalidate the instruction cache more than necessary.

For instance, there are no need to invalidate the instruction cache if
we are setting SCTLR_EL2.WXN.

There are effectively only one caller (i.e free_init_memory() would
who need to invalidate the instruction cache.

So rather than keeping around the function flush_xen_text_tlb_local()
around, replace it with call to flush_xen_tlb_local() and explicitely
flush the cache when necessary.
