Subject: [PATCH 4.16 080/279] powerpc/powernv/memtrace: Let the arch hotunplug code flush cache

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

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

From: Balbir Singh <bsingharora@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 7fd6641de28fe9b5bce0c38d2adee0a72a72619e ]

Don't do this via custom code, instead now that we have support in the
arch hotplug/hotunplug code, rely on those routines to do the right
thing.

The existing flush doesn't work because it uses ppc64_caches.l1d.size
instead of ppc64_caches.l1d.line_size.
