This patch takes the errata workaround code out of cpu_do_switch_mm into
a dedicated post_ttbr0_update_workaround macro which will be reused in a
subsequent patch.

IMO, the ret parameter makes the callers harder to read. Can we leave
the ret up to the caller and suffer the marginal penalty of a few nops
in a slow(ish) path? 

We can get rid of them in the !CONFIG_CAVIUM_ERRATUM_27456 case with a
simple ifdef:

	.macro post_ttbr0_update_workaround	
#ifdef CONFIG_CAVIUM_ERRATUM_27456
alternative_if_not ARM64_WORKAROUND_CAVIUM_27456
	nop
	nop
	nop
alternative_else
	ic	iallu
	dsb	nsh
	isb
alternative_endif
#endif
	.endm
