[PATCH] MIPS: KASLR: Fix sync_icache() trapped in loop when synci_step is zero

From: Jinyang He
Date: Tue Dec 01 2020 - 22:01:44 EST


Reading synci_step by using rdhwr instruction may return zero if no cache
need be synchronized. On the one hand, to make sure all load operation and
store operation finished we do __sync() for every platform. On the other
hand, some platform need operate synci one time although step is zero.
