Android: Implement TLB optimization to prevent deadlocks and improve performance

This commit addresses critical TLB (Translation Lookaside Buffer) issues on Android by implementing several optimizations:

- Add new BufferCacheAccelerator to manage memory range overlap detection
- Implement TLB-aware memory barriers to prevent unnecessary invalidations
- Add a TLB caching system to avoid redundant flushing operations
- Create a counter to limit outstanding memory operations and prevent TLB thrashing
- Implement TLB prefetching for better memory access patterns
- Add targeted memory barriers for more precise synchronization

These changes significantly reduce the likelihood of the "0.0 FPS deadlock" issue on Android devices by maintaining a more stable TLB state and preventing cache thrashing.
