On revisions of Cortex-A15 prior to r3p3, a CLREX instruction at PL1 may
falsely trigger a watchpoint exception, leading to potential data aborts
during exception return and/or livelock.
This patch resolves the issue in the following ways:
- Replacing our uses of CLREX with a dummy STREX sequence instead (as
we did for v6 CPUs).
- Removing the clrex code from v7_exit_coherency_flush and derivatives,
since this only exists as a minor performance improvement when
non-cached exclusives are in use (Linux doesn't use these).
Benchmarking on a variety of ARM cores revealed no measurable
performance difference with this change applied, so the change is
performed unconditionally and no new Kconfig entry is added.
