Subject: [PATCH] LoongArch: Remove superfluous flush_dcache_page() definition

LoongArch doesn't have cache aliases, so flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.
There is a generic implementation for this case in include/asm-generic/
cacheflush.h. So remove the superfluous flush_dcache_page() definition,
which also silences such build warnings:

   In file included from crypto/scompress.c:12:
   include/crypto/scatterwalk.h: In function 'scatterwalk_pagedone':
   include/crypto/scatterwalk.h:76:30: warning: variable 'page' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
      76 |                 struct page *page;
         |                              ^~~~
   crypto/scompress.c: In function 'scomp_acomp_comp_decomp':
>> crypto/scompress.c:174:38: warning: unused variable 'dst_page' [-Wunused-variable]
     174 |                         struct page *dst_page = sg_page(req->dst);
         |
