The generic linux/mm/* already calls the appropriate tlb_flush_xyz()
function defined in arch/riscv/include/asm/tlbflush.h
Better to have a write-barrier in set_pte().

This is not an issue with RISC-V privilege spec rather it is more about
placing RISC-V fences at right locations.

I would suggest trying approach#1.
You can include "asm/barrier.h" here and use wmb() or __smp_wmb()
in-place of local TLB flush.
