Since at least kernel 6.1, flush_dcache_page() is called with IRQs

But the current implementation for flush_dcache_page() on ARM
unintentionally re-enables IRQs, which may lead to deadlocks.
Fix it by using xa_lock_irqsave() and xa_unlock_irqrestore()
for the flush_dcache_mmap_*lock() macros instead.

Thanks!
I assume it's picked up in the arm git tree then.
From what I can tell, the behavior in aio_complete has been
there for over 10 years, since 21b40200cfe96 ("aio: use
flush_dcache_page()").
Oh, then those arches are broken since then.
Others may have done the same already back then.
I also see you sent patches for nios2 and parisc, but not
for csky, which appears to need the same thing.
csky doesn't use flush_dcache_mmap_lock() inside it's
flush_dcache_page() function, so I think it's not affected.
