When replacing a section with a PTE, we must make sure that the newly
initialized PTE entries are flushed from the cache before changing the
entry in the TTB. Otherwise a L1 TLB miss causes the hardware pagetable
walker to walk into a PTE with undefined content, causing exactly that
behaviour.

Move all the necessary cache flushing to arm_create_pte(), to avoid any
caller getting this wrong in the future.

Fixes: e3e54c644180 (ARM: mmu: Implement on-demand PTE allocation)
