Subject: [PATCH v3 12/24] dcache: Fix non-docstring comments

While cleaning up the docstrings for dcache lets fix any errors of
content and/or formatting in non-docstring comments also.  This arguably
makes the code cleaner.

Fix non-docstring comments i.e. all the other comments excluding
function docstrings.
