arm64: fix soft lockup due to large tlb flush range

Under certain loads, this soft lockup has been observed:

The __cpu_flush_kern_tlb_range() function looks like:

  ENTRY(__cpu_flush_kern_tlb_range)
	dsb	sy
	lsr	x0, x0, #12
	lsr	x1, x1, #12
  1:	tlbi	vaae1is, x0
	add	x0, x0, #1
	cmp	x0, x1
	b.lo	1b
	dsb	sy
	isb
	ret
  ENDPROC(__cpu_flush_kern_tlb_range)

The above soft lockup shows the PC at tlbi insn with:

  x0 = 0x000fffffcd742150
  x1 = 0x000fffffdfffca80

So __cpu_flush_kern_tlb_range has 0x128ba930 tlbi flushes left
after it has already been looping for 23 seconds!.

Looking up one frame at __purge_vmap_area_lazy(), there is:

	...
	list_for_each_entry_rcu(va, &vmap_area_list, list) {
		if (va->flags & VM_LAZY_FREE) {
			if (va->va_start < *start)
				*start = va->va_start;
			if (va->va_end > *end)
				*end = va->va_end;
			nr += (va->va_end - va->va_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
			list_add_tail(&va->purge_list, &valist);
			va->flags |= VM_LAZY_FREEING;
			va->flags &= ~VM_LAZY_FREE;
		}
	}
	...
	if (nr || force_flush)
		flush_tlb_kernel_range(*start, *end);

So if two areas are being freed, the range passed to
flush_tlb_kernel_range() may be as large as the vmalloc
space. For arm64, this is ~240GB for 4k pagesize and ~2TB
for 64kpage size.

This patch works around this problem by adding a loop limit.
If the range is larger than the limit, use flush_tlb_all()
rather than flushing based on individual pages. The limit
chosen is arbitrary as the TLB size is implementation
specific and not accessible in an architected way. The aim
of the arbitrary limit is to avoid soft lockup.
