[PATCH v2] arch/cacheflush: Introduce flush_all_caches()

[Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net>]

With CXL security features, global CPU cache flushing nvdimm requirements
are no longer specific to that subsystem, even beyond the scope of
security_ops. CXL will need such semantics for features not necessarily
limited to persistent memory.

The functionality this is enabling is to be able to instantaneously
secure erase potentially terabytes of memory at once and the kernel
needs to be sure that none of the data from before the secure is still
present in the cache. It is also used when unlocking a memory device
where speculative reads and firmware accesses could have cached poison
from before the device was unlocked.

This capability is typically only used once per-boot (for unlock), or
once per bare metal provisioning event (secure erase), like when handing
off the system to another tenant or decomissioning a device. That small
scope plus the fact that none of this is available to a VM limits the
potential damage.

While the scope of this is for physical address space, add a new
flush_all_caches() in cacheflush headers such that each architecture
can define it, when capable. For x86 just use the wbinvd hammer and
prevent any other arch from being capable.

Changes from v1 (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220815160706.tqd42dv24tgb7x7y@offworld/):
- Added comments and improved changelog to reflect this is
  routine should be avoided and not considered a general API (Peter, Dan).
