ARM: 7302/1: Add TLB flushing for both entries in a PMD 

Linux uses two PMD entries for a PTE with the classic page table format,
covering 2MB range. However, the __pte_free_tlb() function only adds a
single TLB flush corresponding to 1MB range covering 'addr'. On
Cortex-A15, level 1 entries can be cached by the TLB independently of
the level 2 entries and without additional flushing a PMD entry would be
left pointing at the wrong PTE. The patch limits the TLB flushing range
to two 4KB pages around the 1MB boundary within PMD.
