Fix duplicate TLB entries issue during section promotion/demotion.

Such situation is defined as UNPREDICTABLE by arm arm manual.

This patch fixes all explicit TLB fetches which could cause this issue
and speculative TLB fetches for sections mapped in user address space.
Speculative TLB fetches for sections mapped in kernel address space are
not fixed yet as the break-before-make approach must be implemented for
kernel mappings too. This means that promoted/demoted section will be
unmapped for a while. Either kernel stack the promotion/demotion is
being done on or L1 page table(s) which must be modified may be mapped
by this section. Thus the fix will not be so simple like for userland
mappings.

The issue was detectable only on Cortex-A8 platforms and only very
rarely. It was reported few times. First, it was by Mikael Urankar
in June 2015. He helped to identify the mechanism of this issue, but
we were not sure how to fix it correctly until now.
