[PATCH] ppc32: 8xx avoid icbi misbehaviour in __flush_dcache_icache_phys

On 8xx, in the case where a pagefault happens for a process who's not
the owner of the vma in question (ptrace for instance), the flush
operation is performed via the physical address.

Unfortunately, that results in a strange, unexplainable "icbi"
instruction fault, most likely due to a CPU bug (see oops below).

Avoid that by flushing the page via its kernel virtual address.

Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#2]
