Eeek.

Something like an unconditional:

flush_icache_mm(current->mm, flags & SYS_RISCV_FLUSH_ICACHE_LOCAL);

should solve those issues.

Also in the longer run we should turn the !SMP flush_icache_mm stub
into an inline function to solve this problem for all potential
callers. Excepte that flush_icache_mm happens to be a RISC-V specific
API without any other callers. So for now I think the above is what
I'd do, but this area has a lot of room for cleanup.
