Paul Mundt acca4f4d9b sh: Handle fixmap TLB eviction more coherently.
There was a race in the kmap_coherent() implementation. While we
guarded against preemption, there was nothing preventing eviction of
the pre-faulted fixmap entry from the UTLB. Under certain workloads
this would result in the fixmap entries used for cache colouring being
evicted from the UTLB in the midst of a copy_page().

In addition to pre-faulting, we also make sure to preserve the PTEs
in the kernel page table and introduce a cached PTE for kmap_coherent()
usage. This follows a similar change on MIPS ("[MIPS] Fix aliasing bug
in copy_to_user_page / copy_from_user_page").
