Subject: [PATCH 3.8 11/67] arm64: add DSB after icache flush in __flush_icache_all()

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

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

From: Vinayak Kale <vkale@....com>

commit 5044bad43ee573d0b6d90e3ccb7a40c2c7d25eb4 upstream.

Add DSB after icache flush to complete the cache maintenance operation.
The function __flush_icache_all() is used only for user space mappings
and an ISB is not required because of an exception return before executing
user instructions. An exception return would behave like an ISB.
