x86/mm: Micro-optimise clflush_cache_range()
Whilst inspecting the asm for clflush_cache_range() and some perf profiles
that required extensive flushing of single cachelines (from part of the
intel-gpu-tools GPU benchmarks), we noticed that gcc was reloading
boot_cpu_data.x86_clflush_size on every iteration of the loop. We can
manually hoist that read which perf regarded as taking ~25% of the
function time for a single cacheline flush.
