Subject: [PATCH v1 7/8] powerpc/mem: Inline flush_dcache_page()

flush_dcache_page() is only a few lines, it is worth
inlining.

ia64, csky, mips, openrisc and riscv have a similar
flush_dcache_page() and inline it.

On pmac32_defconfig, we get a small size reduction.
On ppc64_defconfig, we get a very small size increase.

In both case that's in the noise (less than 0.1%).
