When building kernel for xtensa cores with big cache lines (e.g. 128 bytes or more) __loop_cache_all and __loop_cache_page may generate assembly instructions with immediate fields that are too big. This results in the following build errors:

Add parameter max_immed to these macros and use it to limit values of immediate operands. Extract common code of these macros into the new macro __loop_cache_unroll.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the stable kernel tree. Please read: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html for how to do this properly.
