Subject: [PATCH] MN10300: Handle missing sys_cacheflush() when caching
	disabled [ver #2]

When caching is disabled on the MN10300 arch, the sys_cacheflush() function is
removed by conditional stuff in the makefiles, but is still referred to by the
syscall table.

Provide a null version that just returns 0 when caching is disabled (or -EINVAL
if the arguments are silly).
