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.
