arm64: mm: remove dsb from update_mmu_cache
update_mmu_cache() consists of a dsb(ishst) instruction so that new user mappings are guaranteed to be visible to the page table walker on exception return. In reality this can be a very expensive operation which is rarely needed. Removing this barrier shows a modest improvement in hackbench scores and , in the worst case, we re-take the user fault and establish that there was nothing to do.
