Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc: Allow flush_(inval_)dcache_range to work across ranges >4GB

From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair@...ilva.org>

The upstream commit:
22e9c88d486a ("powerpc/64: reuse PPC32 static inline flush_dcache_range()")
has a similar effect, but since it is a rewrite of the assembler to C, is
too invasive for stable. This patch is a minimal fix to address the issue in
assembler.

This patch applies cleanly to v5.2, v4.19 & v4.14.

When calling flush_(inval_)dcache_range with a size >4GB, we were masking
off the upper 32 bits, so we would incorrectly flush a range smaller
than intended.

This patch replaces the 32 bit shifts with 64 bit ones, so that
the full size is accounted for.

Changelog:
v2
  - Add related upstream commit
