[RFC PATCH 1/7] Introduce cache_is_aliasing() across all architectures

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>]

Introduce a generic way to query whether the dcache is virtually aliased
on all architectures. Its purpose is to ensure that subsystems which
are incompatible with virtually aliased caches (e.g. FS_DAX) can
reliably query this.

For dcache aliasing, there are three scenarios dependending on the
architecture. Here is a breakdown based on my understanding:

A) The dcache is always aliasing:
   (ARCH_HAS_CACHE_ALIASING=y)

* arm V4, V5 (CPU_CACHE_VIVT)
* arc
* csky
* m68k (note: shared memory mappings are incoherent ? SHMLBA is missing there.)
* sh
* parisc

B) The dcache aliasing depends on querying CPU state at runtime:
   (ARCH_HAS_CACHE_ALIASING_DYNAMIC=y)

* arm V6, V6K (CPU_CACHE_VIPT) (cache_is_vipt_aliasing())
* mips (cpu_has_dc_aliases)
* nios2 (NIOS2_DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc32 (vac_cache_size > PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc64 (L1DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)
* xtensa (DCACHE_WAY_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)

C) The dcache is never aliasing:

* arm V7, V7M (unless ARM V6 or V6K are also present) (CPU_CACHE_VIPT)
* alpha
* arm64 (aarch64)
* hexagon
* loongarch (but with incoherent write buffers, which are disabled since
             commit d23b7795 ("LoongArch: Change SHMLBA from SZ_64K to PAGE_SIZE"))
* microblaze
* openrisc
* powerpc
* riscv
* s390
* um
* x86
