translate-all: work page-by-page in tb_invalidate_phys_range_1
So that we pass a same-page range to tb_invalidate_phys_page_range,
instead of always passing an end address that could be on a different
page.

As discussed with Peter Maydell on the list [1], tb_invalidate_phys_page_range
doesn't actually do much with 'end', which explains why we have never
hit a bug despite going against what the comment on top of
tb_invalidate_phys_page_range requires:

> * Invalidate all TBs which intersect with the target physical address range
> * [start;end[. NOTE: start and end must refer to the *same* physical page.

The appended honours the comment, which avoids confusion.

While at it, rework the loop into a for loop, which is less error prone
(e.g. "continue" won't result in an infinite loop).
