Call me perverse, but I like this workaround. People often tend to screw
up TLBI and DVM sync, but the IPI-based workaround is horribly invasive
and fragile. Simply repeating the operation tends to be enough to make
the chance of failure small enough to be acceptable.

Could you rename this to something like ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI, so
that it could potentially be used by others?

I'd much rather this was part of the __tlbi macro, which would hopefully
restrict this to one place in the code.
