Log:
  Stop calling cpu_dcache_wb_range from PTE_SYNC.
  
  We set the shareability attributes in TCR_EL1 on boot. These tell the
  hardware the pagetables are in cached memory so there is no need to flush
  the entries from the cache to memory.
  
  This has about 4.2% improvement in system time and 2.7% improvement in
  user time for a buildkernel -j48 on a ThunderX.
  
  Keep the old code for now to allow for further comparisons.
