Branch predictor maintenance is only required when we are either
changing the kernel's view of memory (switching tables completely) or
dealing with ASID rollover.

Both of these use-cases require subsequent TLB invalidation, which has
the relevant barrier instructions to ensure completion and visibility
of the maintenance, so this patch removes the instruction barrier from
[local_]flush_bp_all.
