As with dsb() and isb(), add a __tlbi() helper so that we can avoid
distracting asm boilerplate every time we want a TLBI. As some TLBI
operations take an argument while others do not, some pre-processor is
used to handle these two cases with different assembly blocks.

The existing tlbflush.h code is moved over to use the helper.

Given that this series seems to have stalled, I'm inclined to pick this
patch (and only this patch) up in the arm64 tree. It's a standalone tidy
up and means one fewer dependency next time round.
Ok, I've picked this one up. Please re-post the rest of the series after
the merge window.
