lkdtm/powerpc: add isync after slbmte to enforce SLB update ordering
The slbmte instruction modifies the Segment Lookaside Buffer, but without
a context synchronizing operation the CPU is not guaranteed to observe
the updated SLB state for subsequent instructions. This can result in
use of stale translation state when memory is accessed immediately after
SLB modifications.
Add isync after each slbmte in the PPC_SLB_MULTIHIT test to ensure proper
ordering of SLB updates before subsequent memory accesses.
This aligns with Power ISA context synchronization requirements for changes
in address translation state and improves the reliability of SLB multihit
injection tests in hash MMU mode.
