arm64: Execute DSB during thread switching for TLB/cache maintenance
The DSB following TLB or cache maintenance ops must be run on the same CPU. With kernel preemption enabled or for user-space cache maintenance this may not be the case. This patch adds an explicit DSB in the __switch_to() function. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
