Subject[PATCH] flush icache before set_pte take6. [4/4] optimization for cpus other than montecito

Add "L2 cache is separated? check flag" as read_mostly global variable.

This add one memory reference to global variable to page faults of "executable"
map in do_wp_page(page copy case), file-mapped page fault and some system calls
which does memory map changes. But not so bad as calling sync_icache_dcache in
architectures which doesn't need it.
