riscv: support update_mmu_tlb()
Add macro definition to support update_mmu_tlb() for riscv, this function is from commit:7df67697 ("mm/memory.c:Update local TLB if PTE entry exists"). update_mmu_tlb() is used when a thread notice that other cpu thread has handled the fault and changed the PTE. For MIPS, it's worth to do that,this cpu thread will trap in tlb fault again otherwise. For RISCV, it's also better to flush local tlb than do nothing in update_mmu_tlb(). There are two kinds of page fault that have update_mmu_tlb() inside: 1.page fault which PTE is NOT none, only protection check error, like write protection fault. If updata_mmu_tlb() is empty, after finsh page fault this time and re-execute, cpu will find address but protection checked error in tlb again. So this will cause another page fault. PTE in memory is good now,so update_mmu_cache() in handle_pte_fault() will be executed. If updata_mmu_tlb() is not empty flush local tlb, cpu won't find this address in tlb next time, and get entry in physical memory, so it won't cause another page fault. 2.page fault which PTE is none or swapped. For this case, this cpu thread won't cause another page fault,cpu will have tlb miss when re-execute, and get entry in memory directly. But "set pte in phycial memory and flush local tlb" is pratice in Linux, it's better to flush local tlb if it find entry in phycial memory has changed. Maybe it's same for other ARCH which can't detect PTE changed and update it in local tlb automatically.
