Subject: [PATCH 3.12 50/77] ARM: 7923/1: mm: fix dcache flush logic for compound high pages

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Steven Capper <steve.capper@...aro.org>

commit 2a7cfcbc0553365d75716f69ee7b704cac7c9248 upstream.

When given a compound high page, __flush_dcache_page will only flush
the first page of the compound page repeatedly rather than the entire
set of constituent pages.

This error was introduced by:
   0b19f93 ARM: mm: Add support for flushing HugeTLB pages.

This patch corrects the logic such that all constituent pages are now
flushed.
