When CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is selected, we modify the page tables to remap the
kernel at a newly-chosen VA range. We do this with the MMU disabled, but do not
invalidate TLBs prior to re-enabling the MMU with the new tables. Thus the old
mappings entries may still live in TLBs, and we risk violating
Break-Before-Make requirements, leading to TLB conflicts and/or other issues.

We invalidate TLBs when we uninsall the idmap in early setup code, but prior to
this we are subject to issues relating to the Break-Before-Make violation.

Avoid these issues by invalidating the TLBs before the new mappings can be
used by the hardware.
