[ARM] Fix some corner cases in new mm initialisation
Document that the VMALLOC_END address must be aligned to 2MB since it must align with a PGD boundary. Allocate the vectors page early so that the flush_cache_all() later will cause any dirty cache lines in the direct mapping will be safely written back. Move the flush_cache_all() to the second local_flush_cache_tlb() and remove the now redundant first local_flush_cache_tlb(). Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
