Thomas Gleixner ae360a78f4 arm: Disable outer (L2) cache in kexec
kexec does not disable the outer cache before disabling the inner
caches in cpu_proc_fin(). So L2 is enabled across the kexec jump. When
the new kernel enables chaches again, it randomly crashes.

Disabling L2 before calling cpu_proc_fin() cures the problem.

Disabling L2 requires the following new functions: flush_all(),
inv_all() and disable(). Add them to outer_cache_fns and call them
from the kexec code.
