Subject: [PATCH 4.9 23/80] x86, pmem: Fix cache flushing for iovec write < 8 bytes

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

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

From: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@...ethink.co.uk>

commit 8376efd31d3d7c44bd05be337adde023cc531fa1 upstream.

Commit 11e63f6d920d added cache flushing for unaligned writes from an
iovec, covering the first and last cache line of a >= 8 byte write and
the first cache line of a < 8 byte write.  But an unaligned write of
2-7 bytes can still cover two cache lines, so make sure we flush both
in that case.
