parisc: Add nop instructions after TLB inserts
commit ad4aa06 upstream. An excerpt from the PA8800 ERS states: * The PA8800 violates the seven instruction pipeline rule when performing TLB inserts or PxTLBE instructions with the PSW C bit on. The instruction will take effect by the 12th instruction after the insert or purge. I believe we have a problem with handling TLB misses. We don't fill the pipeline following TLB inserts. As a result, we likely fault again after returning from the interruption. The above statement indicates that we need at least seven instructions after the insert on pre PA8800 processors and we need 12 instructions on PA8800/PA8900 processors. Here we add macros and code to provide the required number instructions after a TLB insert.
