[RFC/PATCH 1/1] ARM: Handle user space mapped pages in flush_kernel_dcache_page

[gmbnomis@gmail.com (Simon Baatz)]

Commit f8b63c1 made flush_kernel_dcache_page a no-op assuming that the pages
it needs to handle are kernel mapped only.  However, for example when doing
direct I/O, pages with user space mappings may occur.

Thus, continue to do lazy flushing if there are no user space mappings.
Otherwise, flush the kernel cache lines directly.
