Subject: parisc: Handle vma's whose context is not current in flush_cache_range
From: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@xxxxxxxx>
commit 13d57093c141db2036364d6be35e394fc5b64728 upstream.
In testing James' patch to drivers/parisc/pdc_stable.c, I hit the BUG
statement in flush_cache_range() during a system shutdown:
kernel BUG at arch/parisc/kernel/cache.c:595!

This patch modifies flush_cache_range() to handle non current contexts.
In as much as this occurs infrequently, the simplest approach is to
flush the entire cache when this happens.
