arm64: tlbi: Set MAX_TLBI_OPS to PTRS_PER_PTE

In order to reduce the possibility of soft lock-ups, we bound the
maximum number of TLBI operations performed by a single call to
flush_tlb_range() to an arbitrary constant of 1024.

Whilst this does the job of avoiding lock-ups, we can actually be a bit
smarter by defining this as PTRS_PER_PTE. Due to the structure of our
page tables, using PTRS_PER_PTE means that an outer loop calling
flush_tlb_range() for entire table entries will end up performing just a
single TLBI operation for each entry. As an example, mremap()ing a 1GB
range mapped using 4k pages now requires only 512 TLBI operations when
moving the page tables as opposed to 262144 operations (512*512) when
using the current threshold of 1024.
