3.19.8-ckt23 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@xxxxxxx>

commit d4b9e0790aa764c0b01e18d4e8d33e93ba36d51f upstream.

The ARM architecture mandates that when changing a page table entry
from a valid entry to another valid entry, an invalid entry is first
written, TLB invalidated, and only then the new entry being written.

The current code doesn't respect this, directly writing the new
entry and only then invalidating TLBs. Let's fix it up.
