ARM: 7573/1: idmap: use flush_cache_louis() and flush TLBs only when necessary
Flushing the cache is needed for the hardware to see the idmap table and therefore can be done at init time. On ARMv7 it is not necessary to flush L2 so flush_cache_louis() is used here instead. There is no point flushing the cache in setup_mm_for_reboot() as the caller should, and already is, taking care of this. If switching the memory map requires a cache flush, then cpu_switch_mm() already includes that operation. What is not done by cpu_switch_mm() on ASID capable CPUs is TLB flushing as the whole point of the ASID is to tag the TLBs and avoid flushing them on a context switch. Since we don't have a clean ASID for the identity mapping, we need to flush the TLB explicitly in that case. Otherwise this is already performed by cpu_switch_mm().
