RISC-V: Flush I$ when making a dirty page executable

The RISC-V ISA allows for instruction caches that are not coherent WRT
stores, even on a single hart.  As a result, we need to explicitly flush
the instruction cache whenever marking a dirty page as executable in
order to preserve the correct system behavior.

Local instruction caches aren't that scary (our implementations actually
flush the cache, but RISC-V is defined to allow higher-performance
implementations to exist), but RISC-V defines no way to perform an
instruction cache shootdown.  When explicitly asked to do so we can
shoot down remote instruction caches via an IPI, but this is a bit on
the slow side.

Instead of requiring an IPI to all harts whenever marking a page as
executable, we simply flush the currently running harts.  In order to
maintain correct behavior, we additionally mark every other hart as
needing a deferred instruction cache which will be taken before anything
runs on it.
