[PATCH 1/2] ARM: copypage-fa: add kto and kfrom to input operands list

When functions incoming parameters are not in input operands list gcc
4.5 does not load the parameters into registers before calling this
function but the inline assembly assumes valid addresses inside this
function. This breaks the code because r0 and r1 are invalid when
execution enters v4wb_copy_user_page ()

Also the constant needs to be used as third input operand so account
for that as well.

This fixes copypage-fa.c what has previously done before for the other
copypage implementations in commit 9a40ac86152c ("ARM: 6164/1: Add kto
and kfrom to input operands list.").

I am on deep waters with ARM assembly, admittedly. So I wanted to
ask: OpenWRT has this cache patch:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/target/linux/gemini/patches-4.14/0001-cache-patch-from-OpenWRT.patch
I do not know why (sorry).

Do you think that patch is actually a hack to hide the problem
fixed with this patch? (OK maybe stupid question but...)
it appeared anonymously in OpenWRT with the commit message
"add v3.18 support" at one point.

Yours,
