arm64: Fix race condition on PG_dcache_clean in __sync_icache_dcache()

To ensure that instructions are observable in a new mapping, the arm64
set_pte_at() implementation cleans the D-cache and invalidates the
I-cache to the PoU. As an optimisation, this is only done on executable
mappings and the PG_dcache_clean page flag is set to avoid future cache
maintenance on the same page.

When two different processes map the same page (e.g. private executable
file or shared mapping) there's a potential race on checking and setting
PG_dcache_clean via set_pte_at() -> __sync_icache_dcache(). While on the
fault paths the page is locked (PG_locked), mprotect() does not take the
page lock. The result is that one process may see the PG_dcache_clean
flag set but the I/D cache maintenance not yet performed.

Avoid test_and_set_bit(PG_dcache_clean) in favour of separate test_bit()
and set_bit(). In the rare event of a race, the cache maintenance is
done twice.
