Ralf Baechle f8829caee3 [MIPS] Fix aliasing bug in copy_to_user_page / copy_from_user_page
The current implementation uses a sequence of a cacheflush and a copy.
This is racy in case of a multithreaded debuggee and renders GDB
virtually unusable.

Aside this fixes a performance hog rendering access to /proc/cmdline very
slow and resulting in a enough cache stalls for the 34K AP/SP programming
model to make the bare metal code on the non-Linux VPE miss RT deadlines.

The main part of this patch was originally written by Ralf Baechle;
Atushi Nemoto did the the debugging.
