cpu_physical_memory_write_rom() needs to do TB invalidates

cpu_physical_memory_write_rom(), despite the name, can also be used to
write images into RAM - and will often be used that way if the machine
uses load_image_targphys() into RAM addresses.

However, cpu_physical_memory_write_rom(), unlike cpu_physical_memory_rw()
doesn't invalidate any cached TBs which might be affected by the region
written.

This was breaking reset (under full emu) on the pseries machine - we loaded
our firmware image into RAM, and while executing it rewrite the code at
the entry point (correctly causing a TB invalidate/refresh).  When we
reset the firmware image was reloaded, but the TB from the rewrite was
still active and caused us to get an illegal instruction trap.

This patch fixes the bug by duplicating the tb invalidate code from
cpu_physical_memory_rw() in cpu_physical_memory_write_rom().
