ARM: 6389/1: errata: incorrect hazard handling in the SCU may lead to data corruption

On the r2p0, r2p1 and r2p2 versions of the Cortex-A9, data corruption
can occur if a shared cache line is replaced on one CPU as another CPU
is accessing it.

This workaround sets two bits in the diagnostic register of the Cortex-A9,
reducing the linefill issuing capabilities of the processor and
avoiding the erroneous behaviour.
