MIPS: c-r4k: Sync icache when it fills from dcache



It is still necessary to handle icache coherency in flush_cache_range()
and copy_to_user_page() when the icache fills from the dcache, even
though the dcache does not need to be written back. However when this
handling was added in commit 2eaa7ec2 ("[MIPS] Handle I-cache
coherency in flush_cache_range()"), it did not do any icache flushing
when it fills from dcache.

Therefore fix r4k_flush_cache_range() to run
local_r4k_flush_cache_range() without taking into account whether icache
fills from dcache, so that the icache coherency gets handled. Checks are
also added in local_r4k_flush_cache_range() so that the dcache blast
doesn't take place when icache fills from dcache.

A test to mmap a page PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, modify code in it, and
mprotect it to VM_READ|VM_EXEC (similar to case described in above
commit) can hit this case quite easily to verify the fix.

A similar check was added in commit f8829cae ("[MIPS] Fix aliasing
bug in copy_to_user_page / copy_from_user_page"), so also fix
copy_to_user_page() similarly, to call flush_cache_page() without taking
into account whether icache fills from dcache, since flush_cache_page()
already takes that into account to avoid performing a dcache flush.
