Subject: [PATCH 1/1] arm64: fix flush_cache_range

When we ran mprotect04(a test case in LTP) infinitely, it would always
failed after a few seconds. The case can be described briefly that: copy
a empty function from code area into a new memory area(created by mmap),
then call mprotect to change the protection to PROT_EXEC. The syscall
sys_mprotect will finally invoke flush_cache_range, but this function
currently only invalid icache, the operation of flush dcache is missed.
