sh: Improve performance of SH4 versions of copy/clear_user_highpage

Browse source 
The previous implementation of clear_user_highpage and copy_user_highpage
checked to see if there was a D-cache aliasing issue between the user
and kernel mappings of a page, but if there was they always did a
flush with writeback on the dirtied kernel alias.

However as we now have the ability to map a page into kernel space
with the same cache colour as the user mapping, there is no need to
write back this data.

Currently we also invalidate the kernel alias as a precaution, however
I'm not sure if this is actually required.

Also correct the definition of FIX_CMAP_END so that the mappings created
by kmap_coherent() are actually at the correct colour.
