mm: rmap: move the cache flushing to the correct place for hugetlb PMD sharing
The cache level flush will always be first when changing an existing virtual–>physical mapping to a new value, since this allows us to properly handle systems whose caches are strict and require a virtual–>physical translation to exist for a virtual address. So we should move the cache flushing before huge_pmd_unshare(). As Muchun pointed out[1], now the architectures whose supporting hugetlb PMD sharing have no cache flush issues in practice. But I think we should still follow the cache/TLB flushing rules when changing a valid virtual address mapping in case of potential issues in future.
