MIPS: Flush wrong invalid FTLB entry for huge page
On VTLB+FTLB platforms (such as Loongson-3A R2), FTLB's pagesize is usually configured the same as PAGE_SIZE. In such a case, Huge page entry is not suitable to write in FTLB. Unfortunately, when a huge page is created, its page table entries haven't created immediately. Then the TLB refill handler will fetch an invalid page table entry which has no "HUGE" bit, and this entry may be written to FTLB. Since it is invalid, TLB load/store handler will then use tlbwi to write the valid entry at the same place. However, the valid entry is a huge page entry which isn't suitable for FTLB. Our solution is to modify build_huge_handler_tail. Flush the invalid old entry (whether it is in FTLB or VTLB, this is in order to reduce branches) and use tlbwr to write the valid new entry.
