arch/arm64: mmu: Spot check TTB memory attributes

On ARM64, the memory type for accessing page table descriptors during
    address translation is governed by the Translation Control Register
    (TCR). When the MMU code accesses the same descriptors to change page
    mappings, it uses the standard memory type rules (defined by the page
    table descriptor for the page that contains that table, or 'device' if
    the MMU is off).

Accessing the same memory with different memory types can lead to all
    kinds of fun and hard to debug effects. In particular, if the TCR says
    "cacheable" and the page tables say "uncacheable", page table walks will
    pull stale entries into the cache and later mmu_config_range() calls
    will write directly to memory, bypassing those cache lines. This means
    the translations will not get updated even after a TLB flush, and later
    cache flushes/evictions may write the stale entries back to memory.

Since page table configuration is currently always done from SoC code,
    we can't generally ensure that the TTB is always mapped as cacheable.
    We can however save developers of future SoCs a lot of headaches and
    time by spot checking the attributes when the MMU gets enabled, as this
    patch does.

BRANCH=None
    BUG=None
    TEST=Booted Oak. Manually tested get_pte() with a few addresses.
