commit 89a83a0c69c81a25ce91002b90ca27ed86132a0a upstream.
Add a test modelled on the RFI flush test which counts the number
of L1D misses doing a simple syscall with the entry flush on and off.
For simplicity of backporting, this test duplicates a lot of code from
the upstream rfi_flush. This is cleaned up upstream, but we don't clean
it up here because it would involve bringing in even more commits.

commit fcb48454c23c5679d1a2e252f127642e91b05cbe upstream.
We are about to add an entry flush. The rfi (exit) flush test measures
the number of L1D flushes over a syscall with the RFI flush enabled and
disabled. But if the entry flush is also enabled, the effect of enabling
and disabling the RFI flush is masked.
If there is a debugfs entry for the entry flush, disable it during the RFI
flush and restore it later.
